VorschauBeleuchtung

VorschauBeleuchtung, which translates to "preview lighting" in English, is a feature found in various digital design and content creation software. Its primary purpose is to allow users to see how lighting will affect a 3D model or scene in real-time without requiring a full, computationally intensive render. This enables quicker iteration and adjustments to light sources, materials, and camera angles.

The functionality of VorschauBeleuchtung typically involves approximating the complex calculations of light interaction, such as reflection, refraction, and shadows, to provide a visual representation that is close to the final output. This preview is often achieved through techniques like ambient occlusion, simplified global illumination models, or real-time ray tracing in more advanced applications.

By providing an immediate visual feedback loop, VorschauBeleuchtung significantly speeds up the workflow for artists, designers, and animators. It helps in making informed decisions about scene composition, mood, and the overall aesthetic before committing to a lengthy rendering process. This feature is particularly valuable in fields like architectural visualization, product design, game development, and visual effects. The accuracy and performance of VorschauBeleuchtung can vary widely depending on the software and the hardware capabilities of the user's system.
