hi guys can anyone explain me about the environmental lighting in general and vue?  because there's a presentation coming for me so i want to present vue environmental lighting & lecture .....

is there any link about this topic?

please help me ASAP......

Hi,
At this point because it would take too long to explain... do a search in your browser for Vue environmental lighting tutorial.  Or visit e-on and have a look at their tutorials.  I'm sure they'd have something you need.  Other than that, it's pretty much trial and error and that takes a while which it sounds like, you don't have.
I hope this helps!

 

i searched for environmental lighting article but didn't find any useful link.....can you please search it for me.....please!

Look in the Vue manual for Environment Mapping.

You can do a google search for HDR lightting and get about a zillion hits.

Do you want to know what it is in terms of science behind it, how to use it, why to use it ect...

 

yeh man i want to know the science behind the environmental outdoor lighting ......
What is the environmental lighting?
Why to use it?
How to use it?
Explain environmental lighting in vue?

can you give me the answers of these questions.........!

This will get you started:

Well, you can start with this...Most 3D programs utolise HDR in the same fasion for the same reasons..to get physically accurate representation of light and reflection. to explain it all here would be quite a task. I am studying it myself at the moment. Niot lighting as i have been using it for quite some time now, but actually photographing it...which involves EV values and such. Best to just follow the link, and give it good days reading :D

I cannot think of to many people that use it to its full potential in Vue, but you can look at fabrice gallery and also phlynn gallery...they both use it with great results. Good luck(;

I wish I had a degree for every person I wrote a thesis for.

... or you can start here.

I got that book with my modo guide from Amazon.  Great prices.

Yeah, HDR really got me into photography beyond the point and shoot stages. It is really wonderful what can be done with a few adjustments :D

 

guys.....please
i just want to present the article about "environmental lighting" not HDR or HDRI....please put the HDRI aside for a mint...
you know the environment lights in vue to make the mood of the environment we want to create....or
environment lights in industrial part to make same mood of the environment we want to create....
i am talking about that environment not the HDR or HDRI you are saying....

i think my question is very simple
What is environment lighting?

Well, I think everyone gave you the right answer here, but seems you don't want to listen.
Environment lighting= lighting your 3D scene with a map (photo), either jpeg (bad) or HDRI (good, great)
Now you read your Vue manual and follow the links provided here.
But no one is going to write down an article for you.

 

well you are saying that environment lighting is equal to light our scene with a photo or map or whatever...but...
how about lighting our scene with the source of light like point light, directional light or vue sun light...
same as in the industrial light you know
http://www.ilm.com
what is it called? environment lighting with light source?

No,  CG lighting.

 

ok.....so my question would be CG environmental lighting

and how would you describe it?  if someone ask you a question that what is the CG environmental lighting? what you will tell him?

 I'd tell him to use Google and be prepared to do a lot of reading. Asking people to explain all the different methods and applications of lighting 3D scenes in a thread is both unreasonable and extremely unrealistic. Many whole BOOKS are written on this subject, it is not something that can be condensed into a few posts on a forum.

 

thanks guys..........found it !

Phew!  Glad this got resolved.  I hate needing to have answers because of deadlines and not getting them.  The VUE forum really has some experts not only in VUE but in CG.
