Lightmap Limited posts a great preview of an upcoming feature in HDR Light Studio called LightPaint. This looks fantastic – LightPaint allows you to create and place lights simply by clicking on parts of the model and LightPaint will set the light and angle for that part clicked. Very cool stuff. Also the plan is still an HDR Light Studio release for Windows, Linux and Mac all with parallel features. Check out the LightPaint feature in HDR Light Studio 3.5 here.
“An amazing new set of features is coming to the next update of HDR Light Studio, version 3.5. We call it LightPaint. New tools to allow the user to place and select lights directly on the 3D rendered view. Objects can be lit with lightning speed and a level of precision simply not possible before – it’s a fun and fast way to light a scene. Of course at all times everything it totally adjustable, that’s the great thing about HDR Light Studio… it’s non-destructive and resolution independent. At all times the user is not painting pixels, rather designing a complex lighting rig built in a system designed for that sole purpose. So lighting colors, size, and brightness can all be adjust easily on the fly with instant feedback on the 3D model.”
