Book Reviews of Digital Lighting and Rendering (2nd Edition)
Book Review: A Must have for both novice and experts alike.
Summary: 5 Stars
Hey People I want to share my with you my findings inside the book.
This book is a wonderful way to learn and become a better lighting artist,after all lighting is probably the most important part of any and all cg pipelines.Without proper lighting, there is no atmosphere and no mood to capture your audience.
Im happy to say that this book is the best in its class as far as understanding lighting and rendering goes.I was pleasantly surprized to find that Jeremy not only wrote the book intuatively, but also covering all the aspects of lighting setups.
i.e He takes you through the process of understading lighing and how real-life lighting occurrence can be utilized in 3d.Then he guides you through understanding of scene setup to atchieve a particular lighting condition.Most importantly for me was the fact tat he goes through the same scene with different lighting.i.e Day or Night, arch viz or creature lighting to name but just a few. He then explores all the tools you need to attchieve realism. These tools are not only on the 3d aspect of the process, but also real life tools to make the lighting process easier. He then shows you insiders info and personal experience, making this book ideal and a must have for both novice and experts alike. I mean we all want to learn the best tricks and the fastest ways to success right?
Finally he explains the Post Production process and gives you a brief understanding to take your CG scene from 3d into comping.
I hope you all found this review helpful.
cheers.
