Description
Finally posting the image that got me started again on Image Based Lighting last week. This setup is just the surrounding image backlit by 29 radial lights. It works, it just takes 5 hours to render is all...;o/
This scene is my take on Paul E. Debevec's "Rendering with Natural Light" scene. While I now have a much more true technique for this than I did a week ago, I thought I would at least go back and finish this so I could post it up.
Paul E. Debevec's version is one of the first pics I saw that used (true) Image Based Lighting, it and his "Fiat Lux" was my inspiration to make his technique work in Bryce. His "Eucalyptus Grove, UC Berkeley" light probe is used in this render above. Spiral stands made in Spiralizer.
Rendered in Bryce 5 with multi-pass renders compiled in Photoshop.

The original version (read above) was originally presented in 1998 at Siggraph. I ran across a (now dead) 3D site that linked its and Fiat Lux's animation Sometime in Dec 01. Posted my first render using its techniques in Feb 02. BTW, you can find info on this stuff at - http://www.debevec.org/.

Fantastic!...this is a very good bryce version of the original. I've been working with Debevec's techniques as well...trying to apply the natural light concept to Bryce 4. I'm interested in your solutions for using these techniques in bryce 5. Have you been successful in creating your own high dynamic range light probes?
