The HDRI Handbook is the definitive source of all things HDR.
The HDRI Handbook is the definitive source of all things HDR.
If you are in imaging of any sort, be it photography or 3D graphics you are either aware of HDRI or using it in your daily routine. Eitherway, this book has something for you. To date there has been a dirth of information about this topic which is a shame considering that HDRI is absolutely the future of digital imaging. The HDRI Handbook provides a deep dive into the world of high dynamic range images that begins at the shallow end with information written in a style that makes it easily digested by the uninitiated. For the seasoned pro (for which there are few to this new field) you will find a wealth of real world tips and tricks as well as picking up a much deeper and useful understanding of the technology and workflow.
It is rare to find books that are both so
technically robust and yet fun to read.
My only complaint is that there is not enough coverage of modo from Luxology, a 3D application that the author reveals to be one of the only end to end linear HDR solutions. More modo please!
