Title: Possible to get Infrared Photography Look
Post by: WAS on February 18, 2020, 05:33:31 PM
Is this possible? Just curious. :P

How would you go about mimicking this? Just a surface layer setup over all surface textures?

In After Effects, you can save yourself a world of hurt

Honestly seems like it may be more work than just setting up a scene with materials before rendering. I'm not sure how you'd simulate the infrared look either.

Interesting question. As infrared would basically be capturing a different part of the light spectrum, I think you would need to find correct albedo values of your materials and textures in the infrared wavelength... which may be hard to get!

The easiest way would probably be to eyeball it from reference, but I think in this case a post-process filter is indeed the best way to do it!

I'll play around with PS on some images and see what I can come up with (easy to do on still or translate to AE)

There are several tutorials available, depending on what you want; color or black and white.

I don't use tutorials, actually. Thank you though. :)

I tried something like this a while ago. I changed the shaders.

That looks very nice, actually pretty much what I was thinking.
