Scanning materials with spectrophotometer and colorimeter

[cheerioboy]

Actually fuckit, do you want to get some kind of little group around for this? Taking loads of measured environments would be quite a bit of work for one person but a lot less if a few did one or two each. I'd happily shoot hdri's with charts, take lux readings and put in some reference objects to try and get some good recreations of environments.

I figure we'd need to have some different test environments to show off different features of materials - for example a shader with very soft speculars / reflections wouldn't really read in ganzfield lighting or even an overcast day. It'd be good to have a few interiors with different size lights and intensities that'd give the shader more input to shine in.

I love this idea! Start a new thread? I just received an xrite color chart as well as the light tent. Started by trying to shoot an HDRI from inside the tent to use in vray for lighting. Still much to tweak to make sure aspects of the scene and references are as accurate as possible.



I might need a mini tripod and try to use my nodal ninja to get a more seamless pano.

I have this nighttime HDRI with a color chart. Could this be helpful for you guys? I have no lux readings though. And no facebook

[joconnell]

We could do a tiny google group or some such? Having a forum definitely helps keep track of things!

[kosso_olli]

Google+ or something like that can help, yes. I am really interested in this, most of the equipment already is here.

i would like to be part of the group please.

Have got a macbeth chart, 8mmSamyang+sony A7rII+Atome360, Luxi Light meter and a CP lens filter
