I'd been trying to place the 3D model into a picture I took of one of
the locations where I made a lightprobe, but had failed (for a couple of
hours) to get the photo mapped onto the plane on which the model was
sitting. Then I tried Rune's illusion.inc file, and bada-bing! Hooray
for the masters!
The only post-processing I did was colour correction and tone mapping in
Photoshop (I saved the render as an HDR), and adding a little bit of
noise to the dark areas of the final image.
All in all I'm pretty pleased with it, although there are still a bunch
of technical hurdles to overcome - not least of which is it's a bit of a
hack to let the light captured from the table light the model from
beneath (which helped the realism a lot). no_shadow and
double_illuminate etc.
Single pass render, 200 area lights sampled from the lightprobe image (a
scaled-down, non-HDR version of which is also attached).
Cheers,
Edouard.
