Undistorting this is easy because of the already available algorithms in Nuke. Real lenses always have their own lens distortion. After that was done, I had to undistort the image. First thing I had to do is color grade my backplate a bit for artistic purposes. Great! Just a couple more things and we can move into 3D space. No need to fake this using CG lights! After the calibration, I color graded it a bit more for artistic purposes. Raw out of PTGUI: Max floating point value: +-4Īfter tone mapping the image (rather fancy word for grading it): Max floating point value: +- 240Ī high value like this is great it gives you nice crisp shadows. I used a Nuke gizmo called mmColorTarget to match the values of the Macbeth chart in the HDR to the values of the Macbeth chart in my backplate (read more about this on the renderblog), and this boosted my max floating point value up to about 240. The highest floating point value within the image was only 4 (keep in mind that 8 bit images can only store values between 0 and 1). PTGui outputted me the following 32bit EXR.

I stitched them together with an incredibly neat piece of software called PTGui. I placed my Macbeth chart within a sunny area of my environment, so I can color calibrate the HDR to my photographed backplate (explained later on). The camera I used with the default OS just can't do more than three. Three Exposures really is the bare minimum, you should shoot more if you can. I did this using a little two second timer. Using the panoramic head of my tripod, I shot three exposures (called exposure bracketing) for every angle. I even chose a white balance setting just to be consistent across all my images, even though it makes absolutely no difference for raw images.

#DARK DOUBLE SIDED GEO MARMOSET TOOLBAG 3 MANUAL#
Probably as easy as shooting an HDR gets! Once again, I made sure my camera was set as manual as possible. I personally went for 6 angles because I was the only one in the room and there were no clouds. You can shoot every 120°, 90°, and 60° – it's entirely up to you! Just keep in mind that you do not want your lighting to change or your objects to move during the shoot.

This is most commonly done by using a fisheye lens (because of the extreme wide angle), and shooting at least three exposures for every angle, for the full 360 degrees. Once the backplate had been shot, it was time to capture the lighting information in the room. cr2 files in Nuke! You even get an argument line in your read node where you can enter your options for DCRAW. Just put the DCRAW files into your nuke directory in your home folder, and enjoy reading in. Later on I learned that also NUKE can use DCRAWs code. It reads ALL raw formats and converts it the input into a 16bit tiff. I turned to DCRAW, an open source piece of software that you can access from the command line once installed. This gave me a problem – by default Nuke doesn't read Canon's. These days I try to use Nuke as much as possible, steering away from Photoshop as much as I can. They're just as raw as it comes out of my camera sensor, and need some grading work to make them pretty again. The following pictures are shot in a really bright sunny environment, even though they don't really look like it. They all need to match! Also ALWAYS shoot in RAW for these kinds of things. You do not want to have different settings for each of these shots.

Something to note is that your camera has to be on manual mode. I shot: a clean one, one with lighting checkers and one with a color checker. Shooting the backplate was very straightforward. All in all, this is a very useful thing to do even if you're not using any of it in your 3D scene. I also used it as my main big reference to shade objects. Very useful when creating HDRs) - Chrome & grey sphere (to check my lighting) - Macbeth chart (to calibrate my colors) The first thing I did was to try and make a composition that was less or more pleasing to the eye in real life, maybe trying to get some happy accidents in that occur MUCH more often in real life than in 3D. For this I used: - Canon 5D Mark II - 50mm 1.4f - 8mm 3.5f fisheye - Tripod with a panoramic head (One that clicks every # of degrees. Shooting the backplate and capturing the lighting informationĪfter I knew what I was going to do, it was time to shoot backplate and capture all the lighting information. I recently finished my still life image, so decided to do a quick breakdown of what's going on in the scene! I will go over the whole pipeline, from shooting the backplate and capturing the lighting information all the way through to compositing.
