Pre-visualize Film Industry Level Lighting and Cinematic Camera Moves with LightArchitect!
What is LightArchitect?
LightArchitect is a 3D Asset Database Add-on for filmmakers, cinematographers, and 3d Artists. With its assets and intuitive user interface menu, it provides the ability to pre-visualize film industry level camera and lighting setups inside of the open source program "Blender 3D". LightArchitect's add-on database includes over 65 lighting, grip and camera rig 3d model assets. This includes items such as 18K HMI lighting units, Skypanels, Jimmy Jib's, and even a fully functioning 45ft Technocrane. The LightArchitect add-on for Blender 3d is a key to pre-visualizing real world high-end lighting and camera moves for any filmmaker or visual artist.
LIGHTARCHITECT LIGHTING UNITS
The 3D lighting assets provided by LightArchitect are based on real-world lighting units used in the film industry. Because of this, we have used real photometric data in an attempt to closely match the intensity and beam angle of each specific light relative to each other. While each 3d lighting unit is not a 100% match to its real-world counterpart, as cinematographers ourselves we believe they are excellent in most cases for the cinematic pre-visualization of your project. Within Blender 3d's default settings using the Cycles Rendering Engine, the lighting units are estimated to light your scene as if your camera is shooting with the following settings: 24fps, 800ASA, 180-degree shutter, T2.8. Exposure can be changed inside Blender.
LIGHTARCHITECT GRIP GEAR
The LightArchitect add-on has an extensive library of over 27 grip assets and support systems. This includes items from 20*20 emission silk frame's rigged on condors to your standard 4*4 solid c-stand rig. Your options for cutting and shaping light are nearly limitless.
LIGHTARCHITECT CAMERA RIGS
The LightArchitect camera assets contain working 3d rigs of some of the most sophisticated camera support technologies that exist. All of these assets can be added easily to the camera asset tab panel once you install the add-on.
