Techniques for updating design file lighting values

摘要

In one embodiment, a stack of individual images of a scene are created. Each individual image corresponds to a respective light source or light source group associated with the scene. The individual images are combined to produce a combined image. The combined image is displayed. In response to user input indicating adjustments to a light source or light source group, an operator is applied to a corresponding individual image of the stack of individual images. An updated combined image is displayed on the display screen. Values for light sources or light source groups are generated based on the applied operator. The generated values are provided to a design session in a modeling environment.

主权项

1. A method for balancing lighting values comprising:
creating a stack of individual images of a scene, each individual image corresponding to a respective light source or light source group associated with the scene, each light source or light source group having an initial value; combining the individual images to produce a combined image; displaying the combined image on a display screen; in response to user input on an input device indicating adjustments to a light source or light source group, applying an operator to an individual image of the stack of individual images corresponding to the light source or light source group, wherein the operator multiplies color components of each pixel of the corresponding individual image by a scaling factor; displaying an updated combined image on the display screen; generating a value for the light source or light source group based on the applied operator by scaling the initial value of the light source or light source group by the scaling factor; and providing the generated value to a design session in a modeling environment executing on an electronic device.
