HDRI Single – 009

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

I have an HDRI this week that I have found useful for a number of generic outdoor lighting setups. It is sort of the Platonic ideal of an exterior HDRI. There is a vibrant but not over powering blue sky with some large but not too imposing fluffy white clouds. There is green grass and some trees in the distance to add enough visual interest to fill the scene but not so much as to distract from what you are trying to light. This background fades into the background! I’ve used this in cases as varied as architectural visualization to a base lighting setup for abstract animation.

Pano 32

This HDRI was captured on a mostly sunny spring day around noon in a grassy field in the American mid-west.

This HDRI is equirectangular mapped for use as a CG light source.

It is provided as a 32-bit .EXR
