postgraduate certificate Light Modeling

Achieving light and luminosity in artistic productions has been the subject of research and the application of artists' methods since ancient times. Nowadays, lighting within the 3D modeling process is achieved thanks to technological implementations and is fundamental to achieve an optimal result. This is because the incidence of light allows playing with the textures and volumes of the finishes. This educational plan is based on the most developed techniques and tools for the implementation of light in 3D modeling. It is a totally online training, which provides students with all the didactic material on the virtual platform and content designed by the best experts in the sector.

Postgraduate Certificate in Light Modeling.

Light modeling is a process used in computer animation and visual effects production to create the illusion of lighting in a scene. In this process, algorithms and programming techniques are used to simulate and calculate reflected, absorbed and emitted light in a scene.

Light modeling is divided into three main stages: light generation, matter simulation and image rendering. In light generation, the light source in the scene, such as the sun or a lamp, is established and its position, intensity and color are determined. In matter simulation, the appearance of objects in the scene is modeled and their properties, such as opacity, brightness and texture, are set. These properties affect how light interacts with objects in the scene. Finally, in rendering, the final image is generated using the light and matter information, and a variety of effects, such as shadows and reflections, are applied.

Techniques used in light modeling.

Ray tracing: this algorithm tracks the path of light as it reflects and refracts in the scene, resulting in a very accurate and realistic image.

Radiosity: this algorithm is used to model indirect light in a scene, such as light bouncing off walls.

Shadow mapping: this technique simulates the shadow cast by objects in the scene and is used to create more realistic light and shadow effects.

Global illumination techniques: these techniques are used to simulate light reflecting off the atmosphere and other objects in the scene, and are used to create realistic lighting effects in outdoor environments.

Light modeling is a process used in computer animation and visual effects production to create the illusion of lighting in a scene. This process uses algorithms and programming techniques to simulate and calculate light and matter in a scene, and can achieve very realistic and detailed visual effects in film production, video games and other forms of digital media.
