Something useful for the new Physical stuff

[Ricardo Eloy]

Now that most renderers are all physical and stuff, I thought it would be nice to share this link:

http://www.robert-barrett.com/photo/exposure.html

Here you'll find the Exposure Calculator, a very useful online tool. Simply choose the weather conditions, f-stop and it will tell you which exposure to use. Really useful for those who are not photographers but still want to use physical cameras.

Thanks!

 

My Nikon has a DOF preview, and a quick built-in Through The Lens light meter. The physical-camera CG folks should add those. What worries me is that pretty soon they will rig the render engines to run out of 'film' after 36 renders, and we'll have to pay for more. Let's see, it's a big site, I'm gonna need about 10 rolls of ASA 200 Kodachrome, please.

well if kodak is behind it all lets just hope they make the numbers line up this time. For any of you that used to process your own film back in the chemical days.... kodak film never lined up with their paper quantities...... It was like buying 6 hotdogs with 8 buns. It would be just our luck that you could render out 8 images but you could only pay to save out 6 files at a time

 

thx for the link though rick.

You mean paper? I always used boxes of 100 sheets or more. Which reminds me of another connection between photography and these MLT CG engines. You were making a photograph, which should be instant, but you go into the darkroom in the morning with a few negatives and come out at night with maybe one good print, maybe two. It was a time blackhole.

Thanx Rick

 

Now I just need to find a browser to view the website! Does anyone else have problems? I have tried I.E. and Avant browser but none works.

 

 

 

Ernest, I call those times the 'Dark ages'
