London, UK (PRWEB UK) 25 January 2013

Lightmap announces the introduction of HDR Light Studio 4 support in Autodesk Showcase Professional 2013 (R1). Autodesk Showcase Professional users can now use HDR Light Studio 4 to create and edit HDRI maps, lighting their scenes with tailored reflections and enjoying maximum realism and creative control. The HDR Live connection enables instant updates in the Showcase Professional viewport, providing a virtual lighting studio. Design presentations and marketing imagery quickly and easily reach new levels of visual perfection.

Mark Segasby, Lightmap CEO says Weve worked closely with Autodesk to integrate HDR Light Studio and Autodesk Showcase Professional to give a great result. Lighting plays a key role in helping to communicate new designs, really making the materials and form come alive. Designers can now craft lighting set-ups with ease for each Showcase project, seeing the results in real-time on their models. Users have a wide range of lighting effects at their fingertips to ensure their designs look their best. Its a very powerful combination.

Autodesk Showcase Professional users can now accomplish these lighting tasks in real-time using HDR Light Studio 4:

Create perfect custom HDRI maps to light scenes quickly and easily

Load and control existing HDRI maps with local adjustments to exposure, color and saturation, even adding additional lights where needed
