Digital Lighting and Rendering
Description
Alles über E-Books | Antworten auf Fragen rund um E-Books, Kopierschutz und Dateiformate finden Sie in unserem Info- & Hilfebereich.
* Learn how to pinpoint problems with your lighting and solve them to produce professional results.
* Break scenes into passes and layers, and convincingly composite 3D models into real-world environments.
* Adopt a linear workflow for more convincing lighting, global illumination, and compositing.
* Apply advanced rendering techniques using subsurface scattering, physically based lighting, caustics, and high dynamic range images.
* Build a bigger bag of tricks by learning "old-school" approaches such as tweaking shadow maps, faking GI with occlusion passes, and other cheats and tricks that save render time.
* Develop realistic materials and shaders, and design and assign detailed texture maps to your models.
* Mimic photographic exposure and cinematography techniques to simulate real-life f-stops, lens breathing, bokeh effects, and Kelvin color temperatures for more photorealistic renderings.
* Learn to light characters and environments in different situations: day or night; natural or artificial lights; indoors or outdoors; and in clear air, thick atmosphere, or under water.
* Understand production pipelines at visual effects and animation studios, and prepare for collaborative work on large lighting teams
* Get the latest insights into industry trends, and how to develop your lighting reel and get a job in an increasingly competitive industry.
* Download many of the 3D scenes used in this book from the author's website to try texturing, lighting, and compositing on your own
