Instructor: Gary M. Davis
Class Description: This session focuses on the use of high dynamic range (HDR) images in a production pipeline. We’ll discuss color theory regarding different bit depths and file formats, and learn how to create HDR images from real-world photographs, as well as the advantages to rendering HDR formats from within 3D applications -- specifically, Autodesk 3ds Max. The Material editor, the mental ray rendering engine, exterior lighting, and the EXR/RPF file formats will be the primary areas of focus. Autodesk Combustion and/or Autodesk Toxik may be used as support tools for this session.
