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. Dynamic Range is a range of brightness values that can be recorded on media (film, photographic plate, photographic paper) or on the matrix of a digital […]
Texturing and Shading
SHADING is a term used for applying renderable colours, surface bumps, transparency, reflection, shine, luminescence, glow or similar attributes. Shading defines the look of your model when it is rendered. Shaders are based on nodes that hold attributes that define the shader. TEXTURES give objects relevance to their surroundings, believability, quality. Textures are applied to shader […]
Colour
Colour is how we perceive the difference in the wavelengths of light. There are three primary colours of light, red, green and blue. At the heart of colour theory is the colour wheel, which was created in the late 17th century by Sir Isaac Newton. Best known for his physics breakthroughs, Newton mapped the colour spectrum […]
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 integrating and bringing them together in the final image. In the Post-Production Visual Effects Industry, compositing is a vital step to achieving final, […]

Rendering Process Diary
Lighting my first project. A Mechanical Arm which must be fixed to a stationary position. The phong shader I chose for the walls, when adding lights there was an unnatural reflection. Changing the shader to a Lambert in the Attribute Editor solved this problem, not realise how different the shader textures would look with the […]
