Computer generated lighting techniques: the study of mood in an interior visualisation

摘要

AbstractudThe report investigates computer generated (CG) lightingudtechniques with a focus on the rendering of interior architecturaludvisualisations. With rapid advancements in CG technology, theuddemand and expectation for greater photorealism inudvisualisations are increasing. The tools to achieve this are widelyudavailable and fairly easy to apply; however, renderings on a localudscale are still displaying functionality and lack visual appeal. Theudresearch discusses how design principles and aesthetics can beudused effectively to create visual interest and display mood in theudvisualisation, with strong attention to the elements that areuddefined as the fundamentals in achieving photorealism. Theudfocus is on a solid understanding of CG lighting techniques andudprinciples in order to achieve high quality, dynamicudvisualisations. Case studies examine the work of lighting artistudJames Turrell and 3D artist Jose Pedro Costa and apply theudfindings to a creative project, encompassing the discussions inudthe report. The result is the completion of three photorealisticudrenderings of an interior visualisation, using different CG lightingudtechniques to convey mood. The research provides a platform forudspecialisation in the 3D environment and encourages a multidisciplinaryudapproach to learning.
