GYBOW: A Cool Device For Painting Natural Lighting onto Objects

This amazing invention can put objects into any environment and light them accordingly.

Developers Arne Weiss and Hans-Peter Schroeder have unveiled GYBOW, a lightweight LED rig system that is able to paint natural lighting and reflections from 360° HDRI environments onto objects and people. In other words, with this amazing device, one can put any real-life object and/or person into any digitally made environment and they will be lit accordingly.

According to the team, GYBOW is very budget-friendly, costing much less than a full-fledged LED stage. What's more, it is very light and mobile and can be set up in just a few hours. It is also environmentally friendly and has very efficient energy consumption compared to LED stages.

And here are GYBOW's studio requirements listed by the team:

  • GYBOW works with any camera/software capable of exposure times of 30 seconds.
  • GYBOW loves the dark! Studio space needs full blackout.
  • Rotating rig diameter 33 ft/10 m
  • Minimal studio width 40 ft/12 m
  • Minimal studio height 9 ft/5.8 m

3D Artist and Unreal Engine enthusiast Sebastian Wessel has also demonstrated how GYBOW can be used to illuminate non-reflective surfaces. "These shoes are real in the scene and are illuminated by an HDR image," commented the artist.
