A Small After-Holidays Treat for You

[b-tag]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Hope you had great holidays, full of parties and lots of fun. But since the days start to get into their usual rhythm, here is a way you could sweeten your diet. By say... preparing yourselves some jelly candies! Yes, it's easy and fun!

Okay, this short presentation is intended to serve more as a review of few imaging techniques rather than to approach any full-blown broadcast-grade content. Below I have outlined some of the key points where LuxRender has been used and you might find interesting:

• During the opening sequence, the jelly candies are illuminated by using a variable number of lights (including HDRI)
• The picture-taking sequence simulates the shutter of Nikon D80
• The sequence simulating the viewfinder of Nikon D80 uses camera shake, shifting focus and DOF

Enjoy!
