Triumph Racer - Animated lighting - 6.1 HDRI-editor test

[Esben Oxholm]

This project started as a test of the HDRI-editor updates in the KS 6.1 Beta and quickly turned into a experiment of layering and animating different light passes with After Effects. Model: https://www.behance.net/gallery/14912487/Triumph-Bonneville-Cafe-Racer

Here's the result:

I created it by rendering out these four different light settings and layered them in after effects using the 'screen' blend mode. I added a 'hue' effect to all layers to add in some colors and animated the opacity of each layer.


There is a new feature in the HDRI-editor that makes you cut a pin in half. It enables the possibility to create some nice gradient lights with a sharp edge. Pretty cool:


For the development team: When I duplicate a half pin the 'half'-checkbox is unchecked in the new duplicate. I think it would make sense if the duplicate stayed half.

Below: Some screenshots from the animation.

Keep up the great work ! It's paying off big time.

The .Gif is kind of like you turned on the lights in the garage and the flourescent lights flicker on. Good stuff!

Thanks Tim. Much appreciated. I tried doing it in one shot. It looks a bit different and the colors are a bit off, but it works. I can't animate it though. Maybe a similar setup could be done with IES lights that's animated with the number slider in the material graph. Not sure I will definitely keep pushing.

Thanks Justin. That was exactly what I was going for. Glad you noticed
