Physically controllable photograph relighting via neural and physical rendering
November 11, 2026
A new SIGGRAPH 2025 method enables explicit control over light sources like spotlights and point lights in photographs. The pipeline uses monocular geometry estimates and differentiable rendering to allow 3D illumination editing on real-world images.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU
●
researcherThe self-supervised training uses differentiable rendering to generalize to in-the-wild images.
●
designerYou can add or move lights in a photo just like you do in 3D software.
