Overview
Working with your Assets
In this walkthrough, we look at importing in an asset, framing the main render camera, adding some shaders and hitting render.
What is included?
The setup has been designed to work with medium to large assets. Primarily vehicles, large characters, robots, dragons and monsters. Provided with the setup is 2 light rigs, each created with a series of physically based lights (modelled to real-world scale where 1 Maya unit = 1cm) mapped with HDRIs.
- lightRig001 is based on a direct lighting approach, where all lights are aimed at the asset.
- lightRig002 is based on a combination of direct and indirect lighting, where some lights are bounced off the floating ceiling and other lights are directly aimed at the asset.
A colour chart, grey card, grey and chrome sphere have also been provided. You can switch between a large and small reference kit, so you can use the relevant-sized reference when framing your asset (although we recommend the large reference kit for this setup).
The lighting/frame sequence for the setup is as follows:
- Frame 1001: Colour checker chart
- Frame 1002: Grey card
- Frame 1003: Grey ball
- Frame 1004: Chrome ball
- Frame 1005 – 1017: Asset 360
- Frame 1018 – 1029: Camera 360*
- Frame 1030 – 1042: Light Rig 360
* You will need to reframe the camera for your asset.
For the cyclorama, we’ve added a bit more reflection on the ground by setting the ‘Coat Weight’ to 1 on the shader and plugging a texture into the ‘Coat Roughness’. In the real-world, they’ll sometimes ‘wet’ the floor to give a shot a bit more pop, so you can think of this as a similar feature. If you prefer no reflection on the cyclorama, you can set the ‘Coat Weight’ to 0.
Please note that the environment used in many of the renders below are not included in the download but can be purchased seperately here.
