5: Image-Based Lighting
Sunday, Half Day
1:30 – 5:15 pm
River Room 001
Using images of real light to illuminate computer-generated
scenes provides new levels of realism and new avenues
for creativity. This course teaches everything from the
theory behind the methods to the practical techniques
of using image-based lighting in commercial production:
high-dynamic-range photography, lighting acquisition,
image-based lighting and compositing, real-time techniques,
and ongoing research in illuminating real people and objects
with sampled light.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of or experience with modeling and rendering
in a traditional modeling or rendering package (for example,
3D Studio Max, LightWave 3D, Maya, or SoftImage). Familiarity
with basic lighting and compositing. No advanced knowledge
of ray tracing or global illumination is assumed.
Topics
Using high-dynamic-range imagery, acquiring light-probe
images, using global illumination, performing image-based
lighting in traditional rendering, and compositing real
people into virtual environments with consistent lighting.
Basic principles of light reflection and global illumination.
