Simon introduced me to the concept of Chiaroscuro and the idea that real-time digital artists will one day move beyond bold contrasts in their work because the technology will support more variation.
I'd like to explore how we would shoot a bush location from a chiaroscuro-inspired lighting model (for virtual POV) and then shoot the same scene from a lighting model inspired by Australian Impressionism (for real POV). If it were possible to move between the two styles using real-time visual effects processing, that would be ideal.
chiaroscuro - A word borrowed from Italian ("light and shade" or "dark") referring to the modeling of volume by depicting light and shade by contrasting them boldly.
