ZFact Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hi; I have recently been asked by a lighting company to alter photographs of existing buildings to roughly show to their clients what effect their products could have on their buildings... it would involve taking a photograph at night and washing the walls with uplighters, underlighters, downlighters etc... to their particular design and specification... probably using ies data. What would be the best way to carry out this work... ? build up a 3d model or somehow map the photograph to a plane etc or is there any other methods? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiquito Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Thats one choice, to model and texture pieces of textured photographs, and ligh them. Another would be to take a picture from a simgle point, tripod, and go variating the exposure, and the go to photoshop and corel painter (it has a very nice glow brush) and use the over exposed picts on the proyections of the lights to be placed. Its a simpler way around it. Share the results and tests Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
