How do I get even lighting across a model? Blender 2.82

Question

I want to texture bake, but the lighting causes the final product of the bake to be affected with dark areas. How do I get even lighting across the model or fix the problem in general?

Answer 2

To get even lighting across your whole model you could use a very big plane with an emission shader, so the shadows will be minimized. Or you use a hdri-Environment with just a white image, so it creates an even light-dome around your model. Another solution could be just one color solid white for the environment. All the best Marco
