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
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 […]
Colour
Colour is either subtractive, where all the colours are absorbed and only black is reflected, such as lighting models in a 3D environment, or additive, where all colours are equally mixed together to form white, such as a computer monitor. Hue is the tint of the colour such as red, green or blue Saturation is […]
Rendering Process Diary
V-RAY WINS ACADEMY AWARD Vector-based or 3D software uses mathematical algorithms and geometric functions and rendering is the process of calculating this information, converting into raster images, to produce a 2D picture. The rendered picture is made up of pixels that create the image or movie file. The lights, shadows, colours, movement, placement of textures and […]
