What happens when we move a light source closer? Why does a bigger light produce less defined shadows? How can changing the angle of a light be enough to make a completely different portrait? With LumaStage you can explore the answers in a virtual photography studio. Arrange lights around a procedural 3D character, modify their position and size in real-time and see the results immediately. Instead of reading about lighting techniques and their effects, you can experiment and learn by observing the changes first-hand. EXPLORE LIGHT Move lights around the subject and see how the direction of the light affects the face - see how changing the size of a light source affects the formation of shadows - compare the effect of distance on the light - experiment with intensity and color temperature - add fill, rim lights and reflectors - switch between a realistic camera view and an immersive studio view - save your lighting setups for future reference LEARN PORTRAIT LIGHTING Explore the common portrait lighting techniques through interactive lessons that teach the fundamentals of lighting. - See how a Rembrandt lighting, butterfly, split, loop and rim lighting setups work in 3D - Every lesson highlights the key principles of a technique and lets you experiment by modifying the light. UNDERSTAND LIGHTING RATIO Use the key and fill lights to experiment with different lighting ratios and see how subtle and heavy fill affects the shadow side of the face. EXPERIMENT WITH COLOR Compare the effect of warm and cold light sources and experiment with different color temperatures. BUILD YOUR OWN STUDIO Set up your own lighting configuration, save and organize your presets and experiments in your personal library. Easily access your completed lessons and custom lighting setups.
