I have an idea for an AI-powered tool that automatically generates lighting and shadow effects on objects. The concept is simple yet powerful:
There will be a movable sun icon that acts as a dynamic light source. Users can freely drag and position this icon anywhere on the canvas or workspace. Based on the position of the sun icon, the AI will automatically calculate and apply realistic light and shadow effects to the objects in the scene.
This tool would simulate natural lighting behavior—adjusting the direction, intensity, and length of shadows depending on the sun's location. For example:
- Moving the sun icon to the top-right corner would cast shadows to the bottom-left.
- Placing it lower on the canvas would create longer, softer shadows as if it were sunset.
- Brightness and highlights on the objects would also adapt dynamically.
This tool could greatly benefit for anyone who needs quick and realistic lighting in their design process. Instead of manually painting shadows or adjusting layers, users can achieve professional lighting results with a single intuitive control.
Additional features could include:
- Adjustable shadow softness and opacity.
- Multiple light source support (e.g., moon, lamp).
- Presets for different times of day or lighting moods.
- Exportable shadow layers for advanced editing.
