[sau]Photo Studio Pro

 

Welcome to [sau]Photo Studio Pro information page. This product is an ultimate tool set for professional photographing. 

A good photo depends on many elements, including composition, lighting, post-processing, and so on. The purpose of this product is to add light, shadow, and material details to your work as much as possible in-world during the scene setup phase.

This product is aimed at professionals with photography experience; you will need some basic knowledge to use it. However, even if you don’t have that experience, there’s no need to worry, as I will explain it to you in this article.

Inside package, you'll find:

[sau]Photo Studio Pro: A 30m*30m*30m skybox works as reflection environment, softbox, reflection probe and privacy cover. Softbox and privacy cover can be switched between show/hide separately. The whole studio can be set to completely transparent.

[sau]HDRI Remote[1~]: A Blinn-Phong based chrome sphere which reflects current HDRI environment on tripod, also works as HDRI map remote to control [sau]Photo Studio Pro.

[sau]PBR Reflection Sphere: A PBR based chrome sphere which reflects current environment on tripod.

[sau]Color Correction Sphere: The tablet mounted on tripod displays standard colors, grayscales from color correction card.

[sau]Studio Chair[with Camera Lock]: A simple chair that lets you sit and record current camera position/rotation. After recorded, you can simply sit on the chair to apply again. You can rezz as many as you want.

[sau]Pro Camera with Tripod[1]: Decoration

[sau]Lightbox: Decoration

[sau]Photography umbrella: Decoration

[sau]LED lightbox[1]: Decoration

[sau]Panel light[Lightbox1~]: A collection of projection lights casts studio lights used in professional photography.

[sau]Projection light[IES1]: A collection of projection lights casts IES lights.

[sau]Projection light[prism1~]: A collection of projection lights casts colorful prism lights.

[sau]Angel Lucy from Stanford 3D Scanned Repository[1~] : "Lucy" is a famous statue in CG industry for testing lighting and materials. There were applied with different materials, Blinn-Phong , PBR, and textureless ones. All lucy statues are modifiable so you can learn how they works easily.

Technical limitations, Tutorials, Tricks:

Most lights are total transparent, press Ctrl+Alt+T (or Opt+Cmd+T on mac) to show/off transparent objects.

Since softbox and privacy cover("Shell") can be hide, you can actually rezz and use it anywhere, as long as the object you want to take photo is in the center of the transparent box.

Softbox can be used to block sky(So you don't see blueish shines on your material) and other environments, you can change color of it to use softbox as a green screen too.  

The relative height and rotation of the projection light to the ground are very important. Move them wisely. Even the position of some of them doesn't make sense in real world.

Only the 2 projectors closest to an object will cause it to cast shadows. the [sau]Panel lights are designed for this case. For example, try put the panel light near your object and cast a cinematic shadow like noir films scenes.

When you use softbox to block your view from sun and moon, only 8 projection lights in your current view will works as designed. 

HDRI reflection only works on Blinn-Phong (Or Non-PBR) materials with Specular map enabled, You can use Glossiness and Environment to blur reflection or change the brightness.

The environment settings (aka windlights or "Settings") are still very important. This product could brings new variations, try combine with your favorite environment setting.

More informations will be continuously added in this page.

[sau]Cyborg mesh body: Ballerina

 

[sau]Cyborg mesh body: Ballerina online manual:

Intro:

The design concept of cyborg mesh body "Ballerina" is very simple compare to its appearance: Simple is beautiful. There is no complicated HUD or wiki for this product. All you need to learn is some very basic knowledge about link/delink object, or select a face from object.

Featuring:

//Modular designed           Fully Materials enabled

//Compatible with Most mesh heads on the market* 

//Multiple themes, 2 type of heads, included a BoM one

//Multiple static low LI props for decoration

How to use:

The [sau]Cyborg Body[Ballerina][Full] is the core of the product. By attaching/wearing it, you'll attach the entire body included the ballerina head, an invisible BoM body will hide your default avatar body. You can right click the body and choose "Touch" to check different themes and texture options. 

Inside the package, you can find a lot of bonus items such as different static props for decorations/photography too.

Compatibility:

The neck connector is perfectly shaped to fit most mesh heads on the market which used standard neck shape to the default avatar.

The shoulder and elbow connector works perfectly with my other cyborg arm series products such as rocket arm.

The pelvis is Not compatible to most lower body clothes, but some different connectors are planned for next update.

The lower leg and feet can be hide to wear some of your favorite shoes or boots.

It should works perfectly with most human-type animations.

ATTN:

Mechanical body can have a compatibility problem to some biological body parts especially which used Deformed bones. Make sure you tried DEMO before making purchase. 

How to mod:

The whole body is modular designed and modifiable. You can remove or hide some parts easily.  But do not rename the object name such as "upperarmor" or "hand", it will break the texture changer.

If you are new to Second Life, here's how:

You can simply rez it on the ground, right click and choose "Edit",  Make sure ☑Edit linked on edit panel is checked. Click or shift+click the parts you want to remove from body, then click Unlink button on the edit panel.

You can choose "Select Face" and click knee armor or feet armor, then go to "Texture" tab in edit panel , set "Transparency %" to "100" to hide the armor.

Technical detail:

The whole body was made from ruth avatar which is the standard for joint location/skin weight/shape data of Second Life. This will provide best compatibility in theory. Deformed bones was not used on this product.  

Future plan:

I will continuously improve its compatibility to fit more products on the market, such as different new connectors, texture sets, breast/butt/thigh sizes, these updates will be free.

On the other hand, some of my future sci-fi products will be compatible to this body too. Maybe rocket pods on the shoulder, maybe claws inside of hands ;)
