Skydome HDRI - Dusk Clouds II

3docean

Introduction The Skydome HDRI-brand showcases an impressive collection of high-dynamic range images, specifically capturing the sky portion of outdoor settings. Typically, the selected qualities under this brand feature cloudy and detailed skies. The lighting conditions are natural exterior lighting with no artificial sources, effectively capturing all spheres of natural lighting. Description Dusk clouds are meticulously captured in high detail for image-based lighting purposes. Notably, only the top half of the HDRI-sphere is shot, so when using VrayLight with Dome-setting enabled, users should leave the “Spherical: full-dome” option unchecked. The treeline remains intact to ensure better horizon alignment. Product Includes Main Files Three distinct 2-EV, OpenEXR, and Radiance image files are included, boasting a massive resolution of 12948×3091. Original horizons have been removed, and the HDR has been reprocessed for ghosting removal. Backplates A series of backplates is provided in two sets: one corrected for horizontal alignment and distortion caused by an 8mm lens, and another set of uncorrected pictures. A full-resolution panorama image is also included. Camera The Canon EOS 60D with Magic Lantern is used as the camera. Lens The Samyang f3.5/8mm fisheye lens provides a wide horizontal field of view measuring 180 degrees. Usage HDRI images are often misunderstood, but they play a crucial role in various 3D formats to produce physically accurate lighting. This allows users to recreate the exact lighting conditions present in the scene captured from the panorama. The most common use is for achieving lifelike light conditions in architectural renders, but they also bring 3D-scenes to life by breathing a bit of realism into them.
