I have another problem creatin "real light". I have to match studio light
setups for a current film project. The plates have already been shot and I made
a detailed schematic of the lighting plan. In other words intensity, color
temperature in Kelvin degrees, color correction filters used, diffusion etc.
Now, how am I supposed to replicate that with only RGB and HSV sliders? :(.
The solution of course is to write a routine that takes the watts per nanometer
and plots that against the wavelength in nanometers to determine the spectral
energy and that would drive the settings. With 3DS being used more and more in
conjuction with film and photography this becomes an essential issue. Otherwise
you will always have that "overlay" look to your composites.
If anyone knows of such or similar routine I would be very interested in
knowing-acquiring it
Thanks, Arturo
