CG Source HDRI Mapsl
I placed the hdri map inside Environment Map, and told Skylight to use it. Did my test render and the hdri map is perfect- gives me nice strong shadows! Yet my test Arch&Design material with blurred glossiness is looking awful, and speckled no matter how many samples I give it. It seems that the lower the glossiness value is the more speckled the sun reflection appears in the render.
Why is this happening? Is it at all possible to sort out? (The only way I could get more blurry reflections was to blur the hdri map by tons, but then my sun shadows become blurry too, which is the opposite of what I wanted to produce)
With your slate and reference captured, move them to one side and prepare to shoot your 360 HDRI. For the main HDRI, I tend to keep the reference balls and the Macbeth chart visible in the HDRI as it again gives me another reference point to what the lighting is doing. Just make sure it is not blocking any of the light sources. The same goes for the crew, before shooting the HDRI, you will need to ensure no-one is occluding the lights.
Lighting coming from the environment light can not be focussed/directed to a particular region of your 3D model. An environment light surrounds all of the objects in your 3D scene and will light and reflect in all surfaces. Only 3D light sources, like area lights, can be placed inside the 3D scene and be located to illuminate and be reflected in a specific area.
Hey, i just try to make a good looking HDRI. Im shootin with a Sony Alpha 7 ii and a samyang 14mm lens.But every time im doing a hdri it looks simply bad. And i dont know why. Please help me ?
We demonstrate a novel light probe which can estimate the full dynamic range of a scene with multiple bright light sources. It places diffuse strips between mirrored spherical quadrants, effectively co-locating diffuse and mirrored probes to record the full dynamic range of illumination in a single exposure. From this image, we estimate the intensity of multiple saturated light sources by solving a linear system.Recording on-set illumination to render virtual objects into a real scene is often accomplished by acquiring a panoramic, high-dynamic range (HDR) image where the object is to be inserted, and to use this HDRI map as an image-based lighting source on the CG object. The spherical panorama can be obtained by stitching HDR fisheye images from different directions, or more rapidly by photographing a mirrored sphere. Shooting HDR is necessary to capture light sources - they typically exceed ambient light by several orders of magnitude - but it requires recording, aligning, and assembling a range of exposures which can be time-consuming and complicates dynamic capture. If there is just one bright light in the scene, its intensity can be determined from an image of a diffuse gray ball, with the remaining illumination imaged accurately in the mirrored sphere. Even so, two images are required, and only one saturated light source is estimated. We relieve both restrictions.
The use of high-dynamic-range imaging (HDRI) in computer graphics was introduced by Greg Ward in 1985 with his open-source Radiance rendering and lighting simulation software which created the first file format to retain a high-dynamic-range image. HDRI languished for more than a decade, held back by limited computing power, storage, and capture methods. Not until recently has the technology to put HDRI into practical use been developed.[2][3]
In gaming applications, Riven: The Sequel to Myst in 1997 used an HDRI postprocessing shader directly based on Spencer's paper.[8] After E3 2003, Valve released a demo movie of their Source engine rendering a cityscape in a high dynamic range.[9] The term was not commonly used again until E3 2004, where it gained much more attention when Epic Games showcased Unreal Engine 3 and Valve announced Half-Life 2: Lost Coast in 2005, coupled with open-source engines such as OGRE 3D and open-source games like Nexuiz.
Another aspect of HDR rendering is the addition of perceptual cues which increase apparent brightness. HDR rendering also affects how light is preserved in optical phenomena such as reflections and refractions, as well as transparent materials such as glass. In LDR rendering, very bright light sources in a scene (such as the sun) are capped at 1.0. When this light is reflected the result must then be less than or equal to 1.0. However, in HDR rendering, very bright light sources can exceed the 1.0 brightness to simulate their actual values. This allows reflections off surfaces to maintain realistic brightness for bright light sources.
Flare is the diffraction of light in the human lens, resulting in "rays" of light emanating from small light sources, and can also result in some chromatic effects. It is most visible on point light sources because of their small visual angle.[5]
There are no bad references (ok maybe a few), almost any photograph you can find from your reference is good. Every angle will help for different details, different light sources will reveal surface details and volumes.
I started my Look Development process in Maya after exporting the displacement map from Zbrush. At first, just checking that my maps were exporting ok, later I added an hdri map to have a better light source and more realistic skin color with this.
When I started working on the gloss map, I realized that the Hdri was not an option to have as main light source for the final frame, it was mainly washing away a lot of the displacement details and reflecting too much. So I moved to a 2 point light arrangement (key light on the right side, fill on the left), keeping the hdri in a really low intensity for reflection detail only, and from there I worked on the gloss map again.
Each eye is divided in 3 parts: the Eyeball, the Iris and the Pupil. Then on top, there is also the plica and the wet line connecting the eyeball and the eyelids. For each part I also used a different shader, the eyeball is the main source for reflections, glossiness and shadow casting, the Iris color and displacement are from texturingxyz.
These panoramic skies can be used as a background, source of lighting and reflection for your 3D scene. Thanks to the super high resolutions of up to 15,000 pixels wide, no separate backplates are needed.
