Tutorial: HDR library for Rendering of your CAD design
A few steps: How to create custom HDR library from any picture for Rendering of your CAD design
-
Step 1:
Go to web (Google Images) and find "HDR" - system find for you a lot of JPEG's compression (the sourse for our HDR file = High-dynamic-range imaging)
-
Step 2:
Download picture two times (version A and version B) - same pictures / different names
-
Step 3:
Open version B (for example) with Adobe Photoshop and change Expossure (a little bit) - Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Exposure ...
Then Save the file (*.jpg, *.png format for example)
-
Step 4:
Combine two pictures to one = Create HDR file
File > Automate > Merge to HDR Pro... >> Browse.. (select two pictures and Confirm OK)
-
Step 5:
You can manipulate and change some options (Exposure Time, f-Stop, etc.) - you can only confirm OK button too :)
-
Step 6:
You can set same another option - try to find some nice options for your HDR images >> Confirm OK
-
Step 7:
Save your new HDR image to your disk / CAD library folder (for PTC Creo Parametric: instalation path\Creo 2.0\Common Files\datacode\graphic-library\hdri\)
-
Step 8:
Apply Lights (HDR image to your rendering scene)
-
Step 9:
Manipulate with lights and intensity - create your final Rendering of your CAD design
