THERE NEEDS TO BE A HD VERSION :)

[onjoFilms]

@damienjeffgomez I agree.

[the747videoer]

Looks like it was from Blender

[onjoFilms]

@the747videoer I probably could be with enough RAM.

thanks

[onjoFilms]

@frantubador Sure, the link to the original is in the description. Hit the double down arrows and you will see.

@onjoFilms

there's a 480p version uploaded by Paul Debevec, that's the best I think we can get, search for "Fiat Lux SIGGRAPH 99 Electronic Theater"

Wow. This has to be the most beautiful video I've ever seen. Thank you for uploading it!

Just a little information for some who may be wondering what this is about: this was a demo made back in 1999 by Paul Debevec showcasing all of his research into lighting 3D rendered scenes with real, image-based high-dynamic range lighting. All of the light cast within these scenes was generated solely from the photographic backgrounds, and is the reason it looks so believably lit. The advancements seen in this video are now found in almost any video game today, in real-time 3D.

Nice Work Pablo.  There is a lot of stuff in that short bit of pretty.

Nope, this was made with Maya. Just look on the director's website.
