Professional photographers study the art of making beautiful images for years. The main ingredient in their studies is light. When creating a photograph of a new product, a professional studio photographer carefully considers the form of the subject matter, its materials, and decides what lighting types to surround the object with – to enhance and communicate its character and form. Lighting also means controlling the reflections, not just the illumination. In many cases it’s the reflections that are more important in defining the appearance of shiny materials like gloss plastics, metallic paints and chrome that are frequently found in new products. It’s no different for computer generated images of your CAD models, the same rules apply. If your renders look flat and the materials just aren’t coming to life… it’s time to take control of your lighting.
HDR Light Studio software is the solution for truly photographic and dynamic rendering results. It’s easy to use, real-time, and precise – providing a toolbox of professional features for the creation and adjustment of HDR lighting environments. Choose from over 100 light sources, including photographic captures of real studio lighting. The entire lighting design is can be adjusted in an instant – moving lights, scaling, changing color and brightness – tinker and have fun until its perfect. The HDR Light Studio plug-ins bring this real-time lighting technology to market leading CAD visualization packages. Our plug-in partners include: KeyShot, Maxwell Studio, Deep Exploration, Visual Enterprise Author, VRED and Patchwork3D. With more coming soon!
