Call for Content: Blenderart Magazine #27
It’s time again to start thinking about articles, tutorials and images for Issue # 27 of Blenderart Magazine. The theme for this issue is Shadow Showdown: Achieving Light/Shadow Balance Light without shadows is just, well bright. Good lighting generally shows a good balance of light vs. shadows.
And since there never seems to be a single solution that works for all situations, in addition to your best lighting rigs for general purposes & specialized solutions, we are looking for all your secrets, tips and techniques on:
Lighting game levels and characters, images, animations
- Atmospheric lighting
- Nodes/compositing for great lighting effects
- Colored shadows
- Ambient Occasion
- Lighting groups
- Textured lighting/shadows
Also wanted, great shaders, materials and node setups for great looking materials and effects.

Sounds like this could be a very useful issue.
Looking forward to it.
Good lighting is one of the most difficult things to learn as a beginner, this one should be very helpfull
Thank God in blender 2.5 there is something called overall lighting!
I still have to figure it out excactly but i think it’s great , especially for games!
Cool,
but what kind of car is an Ambient Occasion :)
Greetings.
I can hardly wait! Thanks for all you do Sandra.
Ooooh, I suppose this could warrant my sweet hair lighting tutorial that is in my head. Are you only accepting tutorials for 2.51? Or can they be for 2.49, because I haven’t ventured into the scary realms of 2.5 quite yet. :P
I can’t wait for the release of this issue.
Also the website is down for the magasine itself.

That decision is completely up to you :)
RedJay: by all means, use 2.49 if you want. There are still many who haven’t transitioned to the 2.5 series.
