Show HN: SwitchLight – Relighting AI in the Browser

Hoon Kim here. SwitchLight is an AI VFX editor that enables filmmakers to completely change lighting after the shot was taken. SwitchLight works by the user loading an image/video and then selecting a background. Our AI removes the actor from their original background and composite them into the new background while simultaneously relighting them correctly to reflect their new environment. The final result is pixel-accurate with realistic shadows and highlights. Users also have full access to intermediate passes (normal, albedo, depth, roughness) for their custom use case and controllability. We initially launched SwitchLight for casual users (selfies, headshots, etc.), but most heavily engaged users were professionals from VFX industry. As a result, we pivoted towards a more professional industry and we are preparing a Desktop app and Nuke Plugins (with unlimited number of inferences). Sorry for the forced login. We have limited GPU resource, so we had to limit total number of inferences per user. We're eager to hear your thoughts and feedback!
