1. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform steps for compositing a sequence of frames each having an asset to define an animated sequence comprising: receiving a sequence of frame sets, each frame set for one of the sequence of frames defining the animation sequence and each frame set including a plurality of rendered images that each depicts the asset with the same viewpoint but with a different illumination condition; generating at least one user interface upon a computer display; for each frame set, receiving a selection of a subset of the plurality of the rendered images whereby the selection defines a composite illumination for each frame set of the sequence of frames; and compositing each of the sequence of frames to form the animated sequence including merging the selected subset of rendered images for each frame set to provide the composite illumination for the animated sequence thereby replacing the need for a lighting process to be performed before rendering the frames.
