Re: Virtual Lighting Studio

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I can't imagine this actually working. Too many variables. The cam's sensitivity and settings. How wide the shot. The saturation of the subject's face. Any ambient light. The color of the walls and floor. The distance from the subject to b.g. Any reflective surfaces. The type of lamps.

I suppose as a learning tool to understand how adding different lights will effect an image. But very limited value.
