Zusammenfassung:"Aesthetic 3D Lighting: History, Theory, and Application delves into the history, the theory, and the practical and aesthetic application of lighting in the fine arts and 3D animation. In this book, animation industry veteran and lighting expert Lee Lanier examines the importance of lighting and its ability to communicate information to the viewer. Lee examines the history of lighting as applied to the fine arts, film, photography, and 3D animation. He discusses the use of light color, light location and direction, and light shadow types to recreate specific locations and to generate moods. He includes guides for successful lighting in 3D animation. Software agnostic examples lead you through useful 3D lighting set-ups. Chapter-long case studies step you through more complex 3D lighting projects in Autodesk Maya. An accompanying eResource (www.routledge.com/9781138737570) features 3D model files, scene files, and texture bitmaps, allowing you to practice the discussed techniques in Autodesk Maya and many other 3D programs. The lighting techniques covered in this book include:History of lighting as used in the fine artsThe scientific mechanisms of lightLight types and light application in 3D programsLight qualities including shadows variationsBasic and advanced 3D lighting approaches1-, 2-, 3-point, naturalistic, and stylistic lighting techniquesReplication of real-world lighting scenarios and locationsOverview of advanced 3D lighting and rendering systems"--Provided by publisher
