Hey guys, this is part 4 of a 5 part tutorial series.
By the end of these tutorials you will create an underground carpark scene.
You will cover:
- Part 1: Modeling the building shell
- Part 2: Modeling pipes and other misc objects in the scene to give it a more realistic look
- Part 3: Texturing the whole scene using textures from cgtextures
- Part 4: Setting up the lights
- Part 5: Finishing off the scene with some advanced compositing
The techniques used in these tutorials will help you with your own personal projects.



here is my part 4 render:

Really nice result Tarik, great job :)
i hope we are now in peace, because i wrote some bad comment at your 3rd part ...
this render looks a COPY of your project, but i wanted to follow your steps strictly to get a good result...
thanks Rex
Well Tarik, part 3 wasn't one of my best tutorials, I will give you that :P But I rerecorded it so many times that I just gave up and launched it.
Thank you for Part 4. Glad you've finally put it up.
In the future I'd suggest recording all the parts before putting them up on the web that way you could release them a week or two apart, that way there isn't a huge delay between the releases.
Ha, yeah Jordan, thats what me and Greg where saying to each other a while back. Thanks.
Looks nice, what can these kind of scenes be used for? Can they be used in animation?
Yes, they can be used for animation if you fully build the scene, or you could just not aim the camera the the open world. Thanks for the comment.
Can you publish the .blend file for each tutorial in the series.
this looks cool, the render looks
so real, just what i like.
i am starting this one now =)
If you look at the ceiling, on the top left, you'll notice that it stops suddenly. Leaving a big open black space, what's the problem there and how to fix it? It's happening on mine too.
Ah, I am a fool. =] That is the shadow from the pipes and brackets. I do apologise.
Great tutorial as of yet, and no doubt the next video will be good also.
Hey, just wanted to tell somthing about the website. At the startpage, if you click the arrow to the right and mouse over the carpark scene, the description text is abbreviated (I think the others are, too) even though there would be enough space for the full text.
there is written: [...] create an underground carp
I don't know what an undergrground carp is :D
anyway, just wanted to report this "bug"
When will #5 be here?
