I could be wrong but I always understood it to be MOE and HouDoo custom developed for SPA into KLaS: http://lesfilmsdupoissonrouge.com/logiciels/?lang=en

If only those programs were available to play with!

Following the prompting of some people on Youtube I finally got around to finishing my tutorial/overview showing how this lighting method works.

I'm definitely no pro Youtuber.

This is a pretty complex setup, but hopefully you all can get some useful ideas out of it!

Let me know what you think.

Great lighting setup! The gradient and ambient fill controls are genius.

Thanks @alanthebox. Hopefully not too intimidating!

If you wanted to simplify this down I think the key ingredients are the base value layer, a single light source gradient and another ambient fill type gradient to fill in the shadows with a bit of bounce light. You wouldn't necessarily need the light shapes unless you want a more realistic sense of form & shadow and you wouldn't necessarily need the sub-surface scattering. I think a lot could be done with just a few of the ideas here, especially for more stylised work.

Unbelievably .. Google / YouTube had a multi-hour outage earlier - which may have been the cause of the 404 error.
