Can anyone tell me the merits of adding burn to an image??

Burn changes the white point of the image so that less than max brightness objects will map to white.  Here are three images all with exactly the same luminance data but different exposure (tone mapping) settings.

First, with no modifications to the tone mapping you can see that the average color maps to gray:

With the brightness cranked up to 0.4 we can get rid of some of the "grayness" of the image.  Think of this as intentionally overexposing a photo a little:

Finally, adding some burn can really make a big difference in the brighter regions of the image-- in this case I used 0.5.

The amount of burn you'll use varies quite a bit from scene to scene-- no good rules of thumb here.  I do recommend always saving images in .nXtImage format so you'll retain all of the original data.

A good example for the coming tutorials.

CAN WE GET PETER MILNER TO TRAIN SOME OF US FOR A TOKEN ?

Good day, forum members,I was thinking that we could each, if interested, contribute a significant token to give Peter Milner and David to train us virtually in nxt render for Autocad. Am not sure he still uses it but the experience he has spanning over 20 years cannot be underestimated. I wish the forum co-ordinators could look into this. So that more of us will produce realistic renders with the paid version of nxt render and we will be able to encourage other users of other more advanced…See More

3D_Replication final

I created this replication of one of Peter Milner's renders, not with AI but with sketchup (with the matchnewphoto tool), autocad and nxtrender.Critics and comments are welcome.
