Am I the only one doing this? I’ve looked and looked and I’m starting to feel really lonely.
George Gruel [links to .pdf file] seems to understand the concepts, but all he does is change day to night. He simply overlays a black layer and then adds back the light that’s already in the picture. That’s silly.
John Paul Caponigro [links to .pdf file] claims to paint with light but all he does is make exposures in different lighting, then layer them over one another and mask to show or hide various (non-matching!) lighting. Dumb.
From the Adobe Design Center, how to add one little bit of light painting. Geez, a five year old could do better!
Here’s one that’s trying to do it right, but … not even close.
This is depressing. Being able to work the light and shade is the key to near total freedom in compositing. Is nobody interested, or has nobody noticed?
