Coolest thing ever, Half-life in real life
This is called HDR Lighting, and anyone with a camera and a relativly fast computer can make this.
      All you need is: A digital camera A reflective sphere (which you see in a few photos) to capture the lighting of the real-life scene which you want to composite your model into. A small program called HDRShop. Big program called 3D Studio Max. and finally you need a good renderer such as VRay. Then of course you need the tools to get HL2 models into 3dsmax: GFScape, a HL2 Model importer, and a texuture and model converter Tutorial http://www.debevec.org/HDRShop/main-...tutorials.html  And here's a Rar file for the hl2 tools that those images were created with http://www.mundy24.com/pogo/HL2%20Tools.rar  more tools http://synapses.mcg.edu/tools/xroads/xroads1.zip  Last edited by M3WANNAB3; 05-10-2005 at 05:03 PM. |
