Welcome to e.media 2012, the third International Summer School on Media Informatics and Computer Graphics. It will be held in Friedberg, Germany, a historical town located in a beautiful area, about 30 minutes outside of the international city of Frankfurt and organized by the THM Technische Hochschule Mittelhesse, University of Applied Sciences Giessen-Friedberg.
High Dynamic Range Rendering (HDRR) is an exciting computer graphics technique, often used for producing advertisements and movies. HDRR is the rendering of 3d virtual scenes by using real photographs for the lighting calculations. This allows the creation of extremly realistic looking renderings. Sometimes also called High Dynamic Range Lighting, HDRR is a special Image Based Lighting (IBL) technique in computer graphics to illuminate a virtual scene using images with a wide dynamic range of luminances instead of standard light shapes such as point lights, area lights and spot lights.
Period
20-08-2012 - 01-09-2012 (2 weeks)
Target group
The summer school particularly addresses all bachelor students in the upper semester levels of media informatics and related programs such as media design or media technology. However, anyone who is curious, committed and enthusiastic enough to learn more about the topic may apply. Nevertheless, you should have good English skills and some basic experiences in photography and 3d modeling (Maya, 3ds Max, XSI or Blender).
Course aim
During two weeks of lectures, practical laboratory work and excursions, e.media 2012 will cover both theory and practice of all aspects of High Dynamic Range Rendering including: story boarding and taking photographs, creation of HDR images, image based lighting of 3d virtual scenes and rendering
