Simulating Dark Adaptation 2003-12-08 - By Hoehne, Brad

Does anyone know of a way to simulate the dark adaptation of the
human eye? I have a scene in which the glow of a very bright light is
masked out by an object and then the brightness level of the entire scene
goes up due to the dark adaptation of the character's eyes revaling objects
formerly too faint to see. I am now doing this by keying a slow increase of
all the lights in the scene, but this is unsatisfactory for some purposes.
Is there any way to change the "sensitvity" of a camera in much the same way
that one would open up the f/stop on a camera to gather more light? Perhaps
one could use some mel script to multiply the output individual pixels by
some keyed number? I have no idea how to do this...
Any ideas?
