Benjamin Button – Digital Domain Nuke question

Hi there.

Last week, we had the FMX event in Stuttgart. It´s an event about vfx for movies, commercials and so on. Digital Domain was there with very interesting speeches about Benjamin Button. One thing I really liked was the spherical hdri lightning inside Nuke.

From what I understood, it was like:

We have a spherical hdri from the scene. Then it got projected in Nuke onto the geometry of the room. Then with the camera track, we get interactive lightning. So the artists at DD could load in an object (for example head of BB) and see immediately the light changes and so on. I think it´s a great way for lighting the scenes. It´s also great for an "animated hdri" for the 3d artists.

If someone knows about it or even works at DD – can you explain a little bit more about the process? How can you say a "projected hdri" to be also the light source in Nuke? sadly, I didn´t ask more about the process… 🙁

Thx in advance, Dez
