WINDMILL
Ford 8n tractor in front of an windmill from the 19th century.
Another example of Image Based Lighting (IBL). The virtual model of the tractor is placed in front of a backplate taken at the open air museum Hessenpark. The tractor is illuminated by a panoramic High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI) stitched from 210 single images. For Image Based Lighting Christian Bloch's concept of Smart IBL (sIBL) is used.
