I'm having a hard time trying to light this simple yoghurt cup the best way possible. I'm still learning blender, but I'm trying to make it look as professional as possible, lots of research have told me to do HDRI, or 3 point light system, but it does not seem right it still seems bland or off please does anyone have any suggestions.

I think its harder because I'm trying to light it with a transparent background, so I don't have the benefit of some light reflections. I see some material previews and the look so smooth and sharp even though its having one object in the middle.

Does anyone know the secret to achieving the look?

  • $\begingroup$ Even if it's transparent it will still have the HDRI image reflections and lights. Also you should use real lights, and don't forget to enable them for render in the Outliner $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hello, Mark.. please give us a reference of 'the look' you're going for. otherwise we could all come up we the ways we think are great for a yogurt-pot.. and which have nothing to do with what you want. At the moment this question is close to being closed as 'opinion-based', unless you give us a target. $\endgroup$

Try using the Tri-lighting plugin that comes with Blender.

To enable it, navigate to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons Search for "Tri-lighting" and click the checkbox to enable it. screenshot of enabling tri-ligting plugin

Now in your viewport, select the object you want to light and press Shift + A and select Light > 3 Point Lights

Now tweak the setting to your liking in the panel.

Profit.

Add a plan on bottom and make a bevel like L-shape and place a 3-point light more light on top (may be it help to look perfect like in image)

    $\begingroup$ Then make the plane transparent to the camera only, in object material properties. $\endgroup$
