For Landscape Architects

Problem:

You need to delete a building from a scene with a complex cloudy sky.

Solution:

Many of the ground-level features can be stamped fairly easily in Photoshop. The sky is the problem. You can mask out the entire sky and the building and create an Aurora sky similar to the picture.

For Graphic Artists

Problem:

I’d like some low mist effects – but thicker than haze.

Solution:

Raise the height of the camera to 100 or so, then lower the height of the clouds below 100 until it looks like a ground mist.

Problem:

You are designing a sky for the ceiling of a restaurant – the image has to be big and you want it a little more curved.

Aurora Solution:

You can design the sky you want in minutes. Aurora is not limited like traditional models or clip art to a specific resolution. It’s algorithm-based. If you can load the file in Photoshop, then Aurora can render a crisp image. Keep in mind that processing time will increase greatly on these kinds of renderings. Aurora allows you to change the curvature of the Earth and the Camera’s Field of View to change perspective.

Problem:

You have a number of frames in succession with water and the camera is panning between pictures.

Solution:

Aurora lets you save the specific wave position and will time-advance them forward. You can also rotate the camera between pictures. Once you build the initial image and save it as a preset, subsequent frames will take less than a minute to set up.

Problem:

I need a 360 degree sky.

Solution:

All Aurora effects are full 360 degree effects. You can either change field of view or take successive pictures, saving the exact parameters. You will be able to easily produce a full 360 degree scene.
