Nurbs UVeclipse
UVeclipse is a standalone lightdome editor capable of working
with Maya, AutoCAD and Rhinoceros. The purpose of UVeclipse
is to lubricate the tedious task of a lighting setup prior
to rendering. In order to render an image in a photoreal context
you need lots of lighting factors to approach the real thing.
In most cases photons are colliding with objects all over
the place and adding 2 spotlights to your scene isn't going
to make up for that. Some platforms feature skylights but
often these lack the necessary colour controls which would
make them really useful.UVeclipse can generate a realistic
lighting setup within seconds, based on easy to get image
data. Lightdomes are used to simulate a light-casting environment,
including coloured, directional shadows and hotspots.

Tutorials deal with lighting in CG, so I think most
3D folks out there without a background in lighting
could benefit. Drop a line if they've been useful, and
if you've got any questions, let me know.
