HDR Light Studio LiveLight
Interactively light your 3D model in real-time
The LiveLight progressive preview means that HDR Light Studio can be a standalone HDR lighting design solution. You don't even need any 3D software to use it. Simply load in a 3D file as a Collada, MI or OBJ file - and design your HDR lighting directly onto your model - seeing the lighting effects and reflections before your eyes. Now everyone can bring real-time HDRI lighting design into their workflow - and enjoy the benefits of image based lighting, but with the flexibility and ease of placing CG lights.
The LiveLight preview is CPU based, so no special graphic card is required. In the 64bit version of LiveLight, then truly huge models can be opened and lit - more than 1GB files for example.
LiveLight is not about materials, it's all about lighting and reflections. Use LiveLight it to place lights and judge their effects on the single LiveLight shader that's applied to the entire 3D model.
You can choose from glossy, satin and metallic reflections.
You can load a back-plate image into the LiveLight window - supports: BMP, JPG and TIF files.
Or simply choose a color background for LiveLight so you can concentrate on lighting your object.
