Rights-Managed Stock Photos – what’s the advantage?

All images on bearstock.com have been shot for a purpose, are rights-managed and are of the highest quality. Unlike royalty-free options all images on BearStock are captured by our professional photographers with pricing based on your usage, duration and distribution. We’ll remind you when your license is due to expire providing you with the opportunity to extend if necessary.

If you choose to pay a little more for a rights managed BearStock image your client won’t see that particular image elsewhere, especially used in the same way that you want to use it. In other words … used by your client’s competition!

We also offer a single price compositing license to allow you to combine a number of images to create your own unique environment.

Releases & Permits

All images have accompanying Property or Model Releases where necessary.

CGI Builds & HDR Domes

The Photographic Backplate

Whether you’re looking for a coastal highway, a rugged country environment to match a 4WD vehicle, or a unique cityscape that speaks to urban-dwellers, chances are we have something to match your brief.

From straight to curved city streets, coastal drives, freeways, country tracks, bridges, tunnels, car parks, ramps and much more.
You can also search for a number of different road surfaces from tarmac, asphalt, bitumen gravel, earth, sand and concrete.

Our Environments have been shot at dawn, daytime, dusk and at night with any number of weather conditions. All files are 16bit Tif and are retouched, lightly graded and ready for use from web to outdoor supersites. They can be used with or without HDR Domes.

RAW files are available on request

All Backplates can be used as environments for CGI vehicles or to refresh the Background for traditionally photographed vehicles.

 

The CG Environment Backplate

CG Environments are unique backplates with the majority of elements computer generated created specifically for automotive imaging to use with existing 2D assets or CGI mesh models. All CG Environments come with matching 360º HDR Domes.

The files are massive with limitless usage from web applications to outdoor super sites and are supplied as 16 bit tifs to include lens specs and camera heights within the file’s meta data. The added bonus of customising adjustments such as camera height, lens size, lighting direction and rendered textures make these backplates very versatile.

Anything’s possible … just ask.

 

The 360º HDR Dome

360° high dynamic range image ‘domes’ are shot on location to capture the environment data. These 360° files are shot at the same time and in the same environment as their matching Backplate images to assist the re-touchers with the lighting and reflection references that need to be rendered onto the 3D or CGI mesh model. The camera and lens information used at the shoot is also captured in the metadata of the HDRI dome images so that the post-production team can adjust and determine the height of the CGI model.

If a car needs to reflect an intricate urban architecture in its metallic panels, its windscreen and side mirrors, the HDRI ensures a seamless marriage between both elements.

By utilizing the elements of the HDR Dome through the render process your retoucher will have the tools to deliver a highly realistic end result.

Owing to their high resolution the HDR Dome can also be used as a “virtual environment” for the animation of 3D objects, walk-arounds, visualizers or 360º configurators.

Bear Stock provides its 360° HDR file as a 32 bit radiance ‘.hdr’ file. This provides a great level of realism and latitude of grey tones. Starting with more picture information means better results throughout the production process.

If you have any questions about HDR Domes, please feel free to contact us.

 

The CGI Build

A three-dimensional digital data file of an object that doesn’t exist or cannot be shot. It can be rotated on any axis for preview prior to rendering into a 2D static background or plate. The object can also be animated in a 360º HDR Virtual Environment for walk-arounds, visualizers or configurators.

Composites & Uses

 

Budget friendly Compositing License Options

You may only require certain elements from an image and so we offer the cost-effective option of licensing only what you need. This offers you the freedom of mixing and matching to create your own image. The end result will not only be unique but without loss of resolution or quality.

Existing 2D fresh-ups

You have an asset already existing, which needs a new backplate environment? This is where we can help.

Take a look …

File Data

All our images have been lightly graded, retouched, un-necessary signage & rubbish removed – ready to go. By virtue of their 16 bit, 300ppi file size for backplates and 32 bit for 360° HDR Domes you will always have the latitude to adjust the grade and look.

And now we have movement

There are many affordable Motion Blur software applications out there and the speed can be adjusted depending on how ‘fast’ you want your vehicle to be travelling. You as the Art Director or Retoucher can decide what to blur and to what extent.

If you require our help or have any questions let’s talk!

Graded v RAW

We’re always happy to offer up RAW files for you to do your own thing but keep in mind – what you see on site is often a pristine version of the reality. Rubbish, building signage, street junk and road signs are all taken care of in our retouching process.

RAW’s or Retouched – your call.
