Since its creation in 1889, together with the influence of the blooming 3D world, light painting has gotten creative by exploring the 3D realm. Light painting is an old photography technique, which is also known as drawing with light in Greek, which cleverly manipulates light sources and camera's shutter to create random freehand drawing (2D) which resulted in fanciful effects in photographs. The mechanism of a 3D light painting works by flashing a series of 2D (2-Dimentional) images at a time and space interval at the camera. These 2D images are derived from a 3D model and is used as light source during the photo capture. The end result of the captured photo will produce a 3D light painting image. Most of the solutions available today can only support a limited set of templates and often users require great effort to produce a desired 3D light painting because of various issues, such as coordinating the camera. This project will explore all possible solutions for these difficulties and give the user the privilege of creating 3D light painting with minimal effort.
