❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Beeble SwitchLight Studio is an innovative tool that revolutionizes VFX and compositing for filmmakers by integrating artificial intelligence and physically-based rendering capabilities. It facilitates users in altering lighting post-production. The software caters to creativity through individual PBR passes, supports 4K+ resolution, ensures temporal consistency across frames and is compatible with Blender and Unreal Engine. It also includes enterprise features like a Nuke plugin, command-line interface and has multi-OS support. Beeble provides SwitchLight Studio's AI suite as an API, a web-based version, and a mobile application for added flexibility.
Artificial Intelligence in Beeble SwitchLight Studio is pivotal in generating individual passes for videos which include depth, normal, roughness, albedo, specular, and ambient occlusion. These passes give a detailed understanding of how light interacts with an object's surface. Furthermore, the system offers AI Virtual Production to integrate actors into different environments with realistic lighting. AI also contributes to features like background removal and PBR material and depth extraction.
Individual passes in SwitchLight Studio are outputs generated by artificial intelligence that describe how light interacts with the surface of objects in a video. These passes include depth, normal, roughness, albedo, specular, and ambient occlusion. The albedo pass captures the true color of objects without any shadow or lighting effects, while the normal and depth map capture the 3D geometry.
Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) in SwitchLight Studio faithfully mimics how light interacts with objects, delivering the highest levels of realism in rendering. It uses AI-generated passes like albedo, normal, roughness, specular, and ambient occlusion to accurately replicate real-world lighting conditions in post-production.
SwitchLight Studio's AI Virtual Production simplifies the integration of actors into various environments with realistic lighting. It takes care of the matting, PBR map extraction, and relighting. Users can avail of all features of SwitchLight without any substantial understanding of AI, Physically Based Rendering, or 3D software.
SwitchLight Studio's feature for background removal functions through artificial intelligence. When PBR material extraction requires a clean matte, it could only be achieved with a green screen or through tedious rotoscoping. However, SwitchLight Studio's AI can remove the background from any footage nullifying the green screen requirement.
The PBR Material and Depth Extraction feature in SwitchLight Studio, given an image sequence and an alpha matte, extract temporally consistent PBR properties like albedo, normal, roughness, specular, and ambient occlusion, alongside depth information. This deep grasp of a scene's material and depth attributes significantly enhances the overall visual outcome of a video production.
Beeble SwitchLight Studio enhances PBR results and overall realism by offering features like the PBR Neural Enhancer. It adds effects such as self-occlusion and subsurface scattering to uplift the visual impact. SwitchLight can capture and recreate specific shots' lighting in two modes: Portrait mode and Universal mode.
Yes, SwitchLight Studio is designed with user-friendly functions that don't require an extensive understanding of AI or 3D software. Users can simply upload the footage, and SwitchLight handles tasks such as matting, PBR map extraction, and relighting.
SwitchLight Studio is suitable for professional use due to its high-end features. It supports 4K+ resolution, maintains temporal consistency across frames, and can export individual PBR passes. It provides a PBR loader for Blender and Unreal Engine, and a Nuke plugin for streamlining post-production. It also has a command-line interface, offline capability, and multi-OS support.
