The Breakdown
Cinematic Lighting in Blender: Our foundational course, now remastered for Blender 5.x. It focuses on Cycles, still shots, and the ‘photography’ side of lighting – think light direction and quality.

EEVEE Realistic Lighting and Rendering: A newer addition to the “Shrimpverse” that focuses on real-time rendering and animation. It’s more technical, teaching you how to master EEVEE’s specific settings and quirks to achieve high-end visual fidelity.

Which one should you pick?
Choose Cinematic Lighting if you want to create photorealistic still renders using Cycles. Choose EEVEE Realistic Lighting if you are interested in real-time workflows and animation.
Choose the Bundle if you want the full picture. Taking both will give you twice the theory and a deeper understanding of how to light in both engines.

FAQ
Q: Is there a knowledge overlap between these courses?
A: Both courses feature a lot of lighting theory from photography and cinematography, thus there’s some overlap. That being said, I studied a lot in-between these courses – and my understanding of certain things got, hopefully, better. So there’s a lot of new bits of lighting theory explored and incorporated. And the old bits revisited.

Q: If I already own one of these courses, can I still make use of the bundle offer?
A: We value our community. If you’ve already purchased one of these elsewhere and want to complete your collection on Superhive or Gumroad, don’t worry, we’ve got your back on the pricing. Drop us a line.

Q: Which course shall I take first, CL or Eevee?
A: Both. But if you have to choose, go with the remastered Cinematic Lighting first, as it’s the most fundamental out of the two. But nothing prevents you from checking the first chapters (that is, the Minerals and the Elevator Shaft, respectively) from these courses. See what gets you excited.

p.s. And no, we won’t charge twice for our courses or anything, when it comes to the new Superhive policy which is currently being discussed.
