Info
titleWhat is Multi-Angle?


Excerpt

This node allows users to capture surfaces lit from multiple angles to generate a delit colour map, as well as a high quality normal map.



  • Converting captured images to detailed surface information
  • Converting captured images to delit colour map
    Tip
    titleTypical use cases
    Overview
    • Images are best captured in laboratory like conditions
    • Ideally the only light incident on the surface is deliberate artificial light from a single orchestrated direction.
    • ArtEngine supports 4 or 8 evenly spaced light directions
    • The camera and subject must remain stationary throughout




    Step-by-step guide

    1. Add the Multi-Angle to Texture node from the node library (you can find the node in the 'Material' category)
    2. Add the captured images in to the node graph
    3. Choose between whether you have four or eight input images
    4. Connect the images in order to the node
    5. In the property panel define whether the ordered images are rotating clockwise or anti clockwise using the direction dropdown
    6. In the property panel define where the first light source originated from using the widget or the associated dropdown list

    7. The resultant normal map is sometimes a little weak so you can adjust the normal intensity within the property panel
    8. Run the node with the execute button
