Lightmap adds Lumi Curve to HDR Light Studio 9
The company Lightmap has released an update for its software HDR Light Studio 9, incorporating a new feature called Lumi Curve. This innovation allows digital artists to precisely control how light behaves along a path they define themselves. 🎨
Artistic precision in light control
The Lumi Curve tool operates within the program's high dynamic range lighting engine. Users can draw or import curves to set how light intensity decreases or increases in an environment, offering a more direct and creative method to guide the viewer's gaze. This eliminates the exclusive dependence on external texture maps to achieve these effects.
Main features of Lumi Curve:- Allows creating smooth transitions, sharp cuts, or elaborate attenuation patterns.
- Applies to any light source available in the software.
- Streamlines setting up professional lighting or ambient light effects.
Artists can now literally draw with light, though their mouse skills will be key.
Integration and optimized workflow
This new utility is integrated into the properties panel of each light. Artists select points on the curve and adjust their value to modify the lighting power. The system refreshes changes in the scene immediately, enabling quick testing and adjustment.
Advantages in the visualization process:- Real-time lighting update when modifying the curve.
- Agile iteration to perfect the visual result.
- Especially useful for lighting products, where precise control over how light defines shapes and material textures is required.
A new paradigm for lighting
With Lumi Curve, the act of lighting gets closer to drawing or painting, providing intuitive and artistic control that was not as accessible before. This tool represents a significant advance for those producing high-quality visualizations, where every light detail matters. 💡
