ANATOMY OF HDR LIGHT STUDIO

HDR Light Studio’s real-time lighting interface provides the tools and lighting content you need to take your images to the next level.

LIGHT SOURCES: PROCEDURAL

HDR Light Studio is best known for creating studio lighting – especially suited to reflective materials.
Procedural lights can be precisely controlled and positioned to create a wide variety of lighting effects.

HDR Light Studio procedural content includes: Bulb, Linear and Radial Gradients, and Box Gradient (a blended horizontal and vertical ramp).

LIGHT SOURCES: IMAGES

For the most realistic lighting effects – load HDR images as light sources in HDR Light Studio.
Image based light sources bring high levels of realism with subtle details and imperfections seen in reflections.

LIGHTING CONTENT

HDR Light Studio includes a huge library of high quality HDR content to use in your lighting designs.

RENDER VIEW & LIGHTPAINT

The Render View is a key feature of HDR Light Studio’s lighting interface.
Lights are positioned by clicking and dragging on the Render View – we call this patented process LightPaint.

HDR Light Studio loads Alembic, FBX*, Collada file formats.
*Windows OS only

HDRI AREA LIGHTS

HDR Area lights are created and controlled in real-time in your 3D software as you work in HDR Light Studio. Light geometry, shaders and HDR RGBA image content is all updated on the fly via the connection.

HDR Area Lights are compatible with 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, MODO, VRED, Houdini and Octane Render Standalone Connections.

HANDLES HUGE SCENES

The Render View and LightPaint remain fast even with huge scenes.

MATCHING PHOTOGRAPHY

When blending photography and CG imagery, matching the lighting between the photographic content and the CG elements is key to a successful and believable image. If an HDRI map of the location has not been captured then a lighting setup needs building from scratch. HDR Light Studio makes this process easy and enabling the rapid creation of a suitable lighting environment.
