need to put a product in front of a fake cyc for a client. anybody have any photos of a well lit cyc that i could work off of or an easy way to fake one in PS/ILLY? google search came up dry.

what's a cyc?
- linearch0
it is the background you see in studio photography.....no edges.

ahh. so you want a background with no edges? wouldn't that be any background you'd add digitally? what kind of background are you after exactly?

just one that has the atmosphere of a cyc, i tried just doing alite gradient in the background and dropping some shadows below the images, but it looked janke. i'm sure i could render out something in a 3D app, if i had one......

appreciate it utopian, just that i do not have the product to shoot, just the image, so was looking to get/create the appearance of a cyc as opposed to set one up.

i do this for pre-viz jobs:
- make a miniature cyc by leaning/sticking a white paper to the wall
- place a dummy of your product in it (rough cardboard cutout)
- make a good light situation (take your product foto as reference)
- take a foto
- replace the dummy with your punched out product in photoshop.- word. sopunds like a good idea....i'm gonna look around for lighting tutes. i'm not a great photographer
