All Backplates can be used as environments for CGI vehicles or to refresh the Background for traditionally photographed vehicles.
CG Environments are unique backplates with the majority of elements computer generated created specifically for automotive imaging to use with existing 2D assets or CGI mesh models. All CG Environments come with matching 360º HDR Domes.
The files are massive with limitless usage from web applications to outdoor super sites and are supplied as 16 bit tifs to include lens specs and camera heights within the file’s meta data. The added bonus of customising adjustments such as camera height, lens size, lighting direction and rendered textures make these backplates very versatile.
Anything’s possible … just ask.
360° high dynamic range image ‘domes’ are shot on location to capture the environment data. These 360° files are shot at the same time and in the same environment as their matching Backplate images to assist the re-touchers with the lighting and reflection references that need to be rendered onto the 3D or CGI mesh model. The camera and lens information used at the shoot is also captured in the metadata of the HDRI dome images so that the post-production team can adjust and determine the height of the CGI model.
If a car needs to reflect an intricate urban architecture in its metallic panels, its windscreen and side mirrors, the HDRI ensures a seamless marriage between both elements.
By utilizing the elements of the HDR Dome through the render process your retoucher will have the tools to deliver a highly realistic end result.
Owing to their high resolution the HDR Dome can also be used as a “virtual environment” for the animation of 3D objects, walk-arounds, visualizers or 360º configurators.
Bear Stock provides its 360° HDR file as a 32 bit radiance ‘.hdr’ file. This provides a great level of realism and latitude of grey tones. Starting with more picture information means better results throughout the production process.
If you have any questions about HDR Domes, please feel free to contact us.
A three-dimensional digital data file of an object that doesn’t exist or cannot be shot. It can be rotated on any axis for preview prior to rendering into a 2D static background or plate. The object can also be animated in a 360º HDR Virtual Environment for walk-arounds, visualizers or configurators.
You may only require certain elements from an image and so we offer the cost-effective option of licensing only what you need. This offers you the freedom of mixing and matching to create your own image. The end result will not only be unique but without loss of resolution or quality.
You have an asset already existing, which needs a new backplate environment? This is where we can help.
Take a look …
All our images have been lightly graded, retouched, un-necessary signage & rubbish removed – ready to go. By virtue of their 16 bit, 300ppi file size for backplates and 32 bit for 360° HDR Domes you will always have the latitude to adjust the grade and look.
There are many affordable Motion Blur software applications out there and the speed can be adjusted depending on how ‘fast’ you want your vehicle to be travelling. You as the Art Director or Retoucher can decide what to blur and to what extent.
If you require our help or have any questions let’s talk!
We’re always happy to offer up RAW files for you to do your own thing but keep in mind – what you see on site is often a pristine version of the reality. Rubbish, building signage, street junk and road signs are all taken care of in our retouching process.
RAW’s or Retouched – your call.
