AssemblyIbl

AssemblyIbl is a software tool designed for the creation and manipulation of 3D models, particularly focusing on the generation of image-based lighting (IBL) environments. Developed by the company Assembly, AssemblyIbl is integrated into the Assembly Suite, a comprehensive set of tools for 3D artists and designers. The tool allows users to import high dynamic range (HDR) images or panoramic photographs and convert them into IBL environments that can be used to light 3D scenes realistically. This process involves mapping the HDR image onto a spherical or cubic map, which is then used to simulate realistic lighting conditions in the 3D model. AssemblyIbl supports various file formats, including HDR, EXR, and TIFF, and offers features such as exposure control, tone mapping, and color correction to enhance the quality of the IBL environment. The tool is compatible with popular 3D software like Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max, and Blender, making it a versatile choice for artists working in different 3D environments. AssemblyIbl is known for its user-friendly interface and efficient workflow, allowing artists to quickly generate high-quality IBL environments for their projects.
