HDR Images
High Dynamic Range Images – HDRI HDRI (High Dynamic Range Imaging) is a technology that expands the dynamic range of an image and shows details in both shadows and highlights.

Texturing
Resolution Gate indicates the outer edge of the render. UV texture space refers to a coordinate system that relates pixels of a texture map to positions on a surface. UV points represent the location of a polygon’s vertices within a UV texture space. If polygon faces overlap within the UV texture space, they share the […]
Compositing
Compositing is the process of putting back together elements of a shot or scene that have been rendered separately. These layers give the compositor the ability to alter elements when finishing before bringing them together in the final image. In the Post-Production Visual Effects Industry, compositing is a vital step to achieving final, finished shot imagery. Utilizing […]
