Thea - Shadow catcher tutorial
-
Man that IR is crankin' on your i7! Great tutorial and impressive showing of Thea. Silly question, but how do you get your HDRI thumbnails to show up in windows?
-
Thanks - it really helps to see someone moving around the interface to understand where all the controls and boxes are!

Adam, I installed an app a while ago but cannot seem to find it online, I remember it was free and works well.
Here is a screengrab of the info box.
The link is dead
It also creates thumbnails.

Thanks Pete. I couldn't find it either. Did some searching and came across this freebie though - Sage thumbs - http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?t=746 Downloaded, installed and all is working well. My HDRI images are now visible.
-
I don't think the HDRView is the program that will show hdri's as thumbnails...
(btw - you can get the HDRView here) -
I have XNview also, so maybe it's that app which is enabling my thumbnails.
-
It was not HDRSHOP ? seems the v1 is free
-
XNview doesn't do the trick, but Adam's find works like a charm...

The latest update cersion of XnView will read HDRI's as thumbnails (you can choose the thumbnail size),open them and you can save them as jpg etc. Now, if I could just figure out how to best use them in THEA I could take a little step forward.

The link is here: http://ict.debevec.org/~debevec/FiatLux/hdrview/

xnView is it to view hdr files.

But I also use XnViewYup that's the one, faster to open hdri's and show thumbs than both irfanview and xnview.

Indeed, XnViev is a little slow, especially with large HDRIs (and most of them are pretty large).

I do not see a "shadows only" check box in that pallet.

This tutorial is dated September 2010 and development on Thea4SU has been tremendous during the past years...
I suggest you take a look at the model I've posted here where you can see how the shadow catcher material works...

Yikes this is an old thread, when I started this my kid was in middle school, now in college, think about that for a moment.

I had a 1yr son when you did this.
Now I have 3 sons and grey hairs!
