Introducing RefCube and RefTrack

Post by Rork » 17 Sep 2012, 08:08

Hi all,

A little bit of shameless self promotion / "press release" :ymblushing:

Due to the lack of proper solutions in this area of photography, Bob Groothuis (from Dutch Skies 360 HDRI) and me came up with a little tool for helping out with HDRI and video shoots. We called it the RefCube, and added one for tracking as well, the RefTrack.

The idea behind this is to have a tool on location, to help out aligning (sIBL) HDRI's and backplates with your 3D objects.
Or having a reference on set while shooting for commercials or film. So we can use this for camera alignment later on.

The website can be found here: http://www.refcube.biz and hopefully will answer all questions.
I also wrote a little blogpost to introduce the website: http://www.rowu-media.nl/rwmblog/introd ... d-reftrack

Examples of the RefCube and RefTrack:

Thanks for visiting,

Hi all,

We, that's Bob Groothuis and me, did a shoot recently of the RefCube for demo purposes.
There's a sIBL available now, with some backplates with the RefCube, so one can play with the set.

The blog and download links is to be found here: http://www.rowu-media.nl/rwmblog/refcube-free-test-sibl,
Bob's blog is found here: http://www.bobgroothuis.com/blog/2012/0 ... ucts-346w/

All the other information is found of the RefCube website here: http://www.refcube.biz

So for anyone who's interested, there's some stuff to play with.

cheers,

rob
