Layered Lighting

Objects are illuminated by their environment in a number of different ways. Things like reflections and shininess, and directional and ambient lighting all combine to create the image that you see, with each aspect of light playing a unique role.

The subject of a 카지노사이트 object is isolated both as a flattened layer (called Subject [Flat]) and also as a folder (called Subject [Layers]). Which subject layer you prefer to use depends on the needs of your project, but for maximum control over the image, the Subject [Layers] folder has some distinct advantages. This folder contains individual layers for specific lighting types such as Shine, Reflection, Lighting, and Base. Difficult tasks like environment-matching and can be achieved much more quickly and accurately with this kind of layered lighting setup.

Shine refers to the highlights that bounce from the rounds and corners of smooth surfaces. When matching a background scene, color correct the Shine layer to match the color of the light sources in the scene. Apply a noisy/cloudy layer map to the Shine layer to create a look of smudging, weathering, or grit.

Reflection refers to the reflections of objects in the environment rather than lights. When matching a background scene, color correct the Reflection layer to match the color of the objects in the scene and large-scale environmentals like floor/ground/walls/sky. Apply a noisy/cloudy layer map to the Reflection layer to create a look of smudging, weathering, or grit.

Lighting refers to the overall light bias as it falls across the object defining the light side and the dark side. When matching a background scene, color correct the Lighting layer to match the color of the objects in the scene and large-scale environmentals like floor/ground/walls/sky.

The Base is the bottom-most layer of the Subject, and receives the light contributions from the layers above.

Compositing an object into an existing image can be a challenge when those images were captured under very different lighting. Direct control over the lighting fundamentals makes matching the new environment quick and accurate.

By making changes to the tone, color, and visibility of individual lighting layers it’s easy to change the finish of a surface.
