Automotive CGI Studio Lighting with HDR LIGHT STUDIO

Here is one from our archvie.... a time lapse of Maciej Ptaszynski using HDR Light Studio to light an automotive CGI studio shot with basic studio lighting. The whole process took less than an hour. We are so impressed with the final result which still holds up in quality 6 years later.

During the process you can see Maciej using HDR Light Studio's procedural light sources (bulbs and gradient lights) to create and control graduations of lighting around the car, from the reflections of the HDRI map. Maciej prefers to move and explore the light positions via the HDR canvas rather than use the LightPaint feature to position lighting on the render.

You can see how Maciej extensively uses the graph view of ramps, to adjust the lighting fall-off curves, and get exactly the right graduation of light across the model. This provides much more control over the HDR reflections.

Creating studio renders is so much easier for automotive CGI artists using HDR Light Studio for the lighting.
