商品描述

ILLUMINATED PIXELS provides a balanced, unique approach to great lighting by looking at the why, what, and how of lighting: "Why are you lighting?" This question asks the purpose of your lights and relates to the aesthetic intent of the image. ILLUMINATED PIXELS defines the goals of lighting and explains how to use your lights to accomplish each goal. "What are the physical properties of light you are trying to imitate?" Without a proper knowledge of real-world light, your digital lighting may appear odd or unnatural. This book discusses the properties of light not just in a theoretical sense, but with further discussion of the digital tools you can use to re-create them. "How will you accomplish this?" This book will help you find and apply the appropriate techniques to achieve the best possible digital lighting for your project. Using the questions above as a framework, ILLUMINATED PIXELS explains artistry, real-world physics, and computer technology in a practical, integrated way, giving you the knowledge needed to master the art of digital lighting. All the content and skills taught are non-software-specific, making this book an essential tool for any digital lighting professional or hobbyist. "ILLUMINATED PIXELS covers digital lighting with detail and care. Virginia understands lighting from the perspective of a feature-film technical director and teaches both the concepts and the techniques behind the art." - Rob Bredow, Chief Technology Officer, Sony Imageworks "ILLUMINATED PIXELS is an excellent resource for artists who wish to learn about the practical and aesthetic principles of CG lighting." - Peter Weishar, Dean of Film, Digital Media, and Performing Arts, Savannah College of Art and Design "If you buy one book to help you understand what goes on behind the scenes in a professional studio when lighting animation and visual effects, don't hesitate to buy ILLUMINATED PIXELS." - MacDuff Knox, Senior Technical Director, Disney

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《ILLUMINATED PIXELS》提供了一種平衡而獨特的方法來實現出色的照明,通過探討照明的原因、內容和方式:「你為什麼要照明?」這個問題詢問你照明的目的,並與圖像的美學意圖相關。《ILLUMINATED PIXELS》定義了照明的目標,並解釋了如何使用照明來實現每個目標。「你試圖模仿的光的物理特性是什麼?」如果對現實世界的光沒有正確的了解,你的數字照明可能會顯得奇怪或不自然。本書不僅在理論上討論了光的特性,還進一步討論了可以用來重新創造這些特性的數字工具。「你將如何實現這一點?」本書將幫助你找到並應用適當的技術,以實現最佳的數字照明效果。通過以上問題作為框架,《ILLUMINATED PIXELS》以實用、整合的方式解釋了藝術性、現實世界物理和計算機技術,讓你掌握數字照明的藝術所需的知識。本書所教授的所有內容和技能都不依賴特定的軟件,使其成為任何數字照明專業人士或愛好者的必備工具。「《ILLUMINATED PIXELS》以細節和關懷涵蓋了數字照明。Virginia從特技導演的角度理解照明,並教授了藝術背後的概念和技術。」- Rob Bredow,索尼影像工作室首席技術官。「《ILLUMINATED PIXELS》是一本優秀的資源,適合希望了解CG照明的實際和美學原則的藝術家。」- Peter Weishar,薩凡納藝術與設計學院電影、數字媒體和表演藝術學院院長。「如果你想了解專業工作室在照明動畫和視覺效果時幕後發生了什麼,買一本《ILLUMINATED PIXELS》絕對不會錯。」- MacDuff Knox,迪士尼高級技術導演。
