Thecourse will assist the advancing animation or visual effects student with all aspects of CGI rendering,from developing fully digital scenes to integrating CGI with-action.liveTraditional direct lighting aswell as advanced globalillumination techniques used in the visual effects industry will be presented.The course will encompass a series of hands-on workshops, so a prior working knowledge of Mayais essential. Approachesto final compositing is also covered using The Foundryuke.NPrerequisites:CTAN 462, Visual Effects, or CTAN 452, Introduction to 3D Computer AnimationCourse Length:15 weeks, meeting once a week,three hours each class meeting.Optional Books:“Advanced Maya Texturing and Lighting” (second edition)“Digital Lighting and Rendering” (second edition), Jere"Encyclopedia of Visual Effects", Damian Allen and Brian Connor, PeachpitPress 2006.

Fifty‐five percent of growers grow crops under HPS lighting; 25% grow crops under LED lighting. Growers were familiar with many LED lighting manufacturers; and had evaluated or purchased LED lighting from GE Lighting, LumiGrow, Philips Lighting, PL Light Systems and Sunlight Supply.
The most common application is roadway lighting. Other lighting functions include pedestrian/bicyclist lighting, sign lighting, and parking lot lighting. These four functions have similar design methods, but vary with criteria and function. Definingthe function of the lighting allows the designer to determine the criteria to use for design.
