Back in 2012, Tandent Vision Science released Lightbrush, designed to separate a photo into illumination and reflectance passes, essentially lighting and albedo. This tool enables users to capture texture maps from images and perform independent image manipulation on both textures and lighting. While the original tool has been unavailable for a while, it has resurfaced as a web application called Lightbrush Cloud.
Total Control Over Light and Texture
Lightbrush Cloud lets you divide the illumination and surface colors of an image into different layers, opening up a world of possibilities to edit them as if you were manipulating the real world. From effortlessly creating texture maps to transforming photographs, the only limit is your imagination.
Easily Create Texture Maps for 3D Graphics and Video Games
Lightbrush Cloud gives you the power to separate an image’s illumination and surface colors into distinct layers, offering a unique way of editing them as though you’re shaping the world around you. With the ability to create detailed texture maps and modify photographs, this tool is a game-changer.
Change Surface Color While Retaining Accurate Illumination
With Lightbrush Cloud, you can easily separate the illumination and surface colors of an image into separate layers. This innovative feature lets you edit these aspects independently, allowing you to modify them as if you were directly manipulating the scene. From creating advanced texture maps to subtly altering photographs, the opportunities are extensive.
Change Illumination While Retaining Original Surface Color
Lightbrush Cloud lets you divide the light and surface colors of an image into many layers, giving you total control. You can edit these separately, and it’s like you’re controlling reality. Creating textures, modifying photographs – you can do it all.
Introducing the New Lightbrush Cloud
The new Lightbrush Cloud application brings the powerful technology behind Lightbrush to anyone with a PC and an internet connection. This platform-independent application allows you to upload images and process them quickly using the Google Cloud Computer Network.
