Introduction: A light probe image is an omnidirectional, high dynamic range image that records the incident illumination conditions at a particular point in space. Such images were used in Rendering Synthetic Objects into Real Scenes: Bridging Traditional and Image-Based Graphics with Global Illumination and High Dynamic Range Photography at SIGGRAPH 98 to illuminate synthetic objects with measurements of real light, and in a more recent SIGGRAPH 2000 paper to illuminate real-world people and objects. Light probes images have since become a widely used tool for realistic lighting in movies and video games. In 2001, we released a gallery of light probe images including images of Grace Cathedral, the Eucalyptus Grove, and St Paul's Bascillica. HDR Image Formats: Light Probe images are measurements of light in the real world, and thus are high dyanmic range. Panoramic Format: These probes have been released in a latitude-longitude panoramic format. Making Your Own Light Probes:

100 Beautiful Free Textures - Smashing Magazine
Use of texture in Web design is extremely common. Part of the reason textures are so useful to designers is the relative ease of the integrating one into a design if a high-quality textured image already exists, not to mention the endless possibilities . Fortunately, plenty of photographers and designers are willing to share their work with the rest of us so that we can use them in a number of different ways. In this post, we’ll look at 100 different textures in a wide variety of different categories. Of course, each image is linked to the source where it can be downloaded. As with any type of freebie, be sure to read the terms and conditions or stipulations by the owner before using it in your work.
