Moritz Moeller's is a Technical Director at Rising Sun Pictures. Before he worked as a Rendering Supervisor on an Italian full CG feature film in India and helped designing the rendering pipeline for Norway's first full CG feature film, "Free Jimmy". Before that he worked on numerous commercials across Germany and Europe and a long time ago also in games. Moritz has been using RenderMan compliant renderers since 1996. He also is one of the administrators of Liquid, the open source Maya to RenderMan plug-in and developed Affogato, the opensource XSI to RenderMan plug-in for Rising Sun Pictures. His film credits include "Free Jimmy" (2006) and "Charlotte's Web" (2006) Moritz is a part time lecturer at the German Film School, Germany, where he teaches RenderMan.."Magic" lights have been around for a while. The term "magic light" for a light that does other things than what the term light suggests, was introduced by Pixar a long time ago. Their Alias to RenderMan plug-in (AtoR) shipped with a few of those and they still can be found in MtoR nowadays.However, there has never been any explanation on how they work and while it might be something obvious for RenderMan old hands, I quite well remember how puzzled I was by my first encounter with them almost a decade back.This course will give you an overview of the concepts or the "magic" behind those lights and illustrate their actual use in production with some examples.
