Case Study: Deutsche Lufthansa AG achieves realistic aircraft compositing with Planetside Software's Terragen

Deutsche Lufthansa AG creates a 10,200 x 6,800 still with Planetside Software

The customer Deutsche Lufthansa AG needed to create a high-resolution still image featuring two of its flagship airplanes together in the air against a realistic sky. They faced the challenge of not having a suitable real-world cloudscape photograph from the required perspective. The vendor Planetside Software provided its product, Terragen, to help create the necessary environment.

Planetside Software's solution involved using Terragen to generate a highly realistic alpine landscape and HDR environment maps. This allowed for matching lighting conditions and reflections when rendering the 3D airplane models, seamlessly integrating them into the digital scene. The result was a convincing and photorealistic composite image achieved quickly due to Terragen's rendering speed and realism.
