Wanted to highlight Fred Huergo’s brilliant animation he was kind enough to share with me this week! I love the treatment he’s given this – kinda feel like I’m watching a scene from the original Time Machine movie as it has a retro air about it. Check it out: I …

Manuel Mousiol contacted me the other day to share his time-lapse HDRI car animation. Manuel’s company, Creative Control likes to work on passion projects in their spare time, and this result is certainly one of the best examples I’ve seen utilizing Hyperfocal’s time-lapses. Manuel has 10 years of experience rendering …

Benjamin Bardou’s short film, Gloria Victis, is finally out now! Ben used VRay’s Sun/Sky system to do some of the earlier time-lapse shots, then Hyperfocal’s image-based, HDRI time-lapse skies from 2:20 onwards. Check it out: You can also view a preview, VR/360 degree video with some details in my last …

Here’s a quick, straightforward look at getting time-lapse HDRI skies into Blender Cycles. The same technique should work for non-HDRI image sequences, animated texture maps, etc.

This is another older HDRI sky shot at f3.5. As a test, I developed the NEFs with -2 exposure per bracket in order to try and get more dynamic range. However, I’ve since been informed that changing exposure like this doesn’t exactly achieve much, and results in a slight loss …
