HDRI Single – 007

Download an HDRI pano single for free. This image was captured with 24 stops of latitude.

This week’s HDRI isn’t very interesting to look at on its own but I’ve found it very useful as a CG light source. You can see from the shader ball image below that without any additional lights you end up with some pretty hard shadows. The combination of a not overly saturated blue sky and green grass makes for a very believable light source right out of the box, as they say. Between this image and Single – 006 you have a good starting point for a wide variety of lighting setups with a hard light source.
