Skydome HDRI - Starlight Sky

3docean

Introduction The Skydome HDRI-brand offers a collection of high-dynamic range images showcasing only the sky-portion of an outdoor setting. Typically, this brand features cloudy and detailed skies with natural exterior lighting conditions, excluding artificial sources, that capture all aspects of natural lighting. Description A beautiful starlight sky with a sun glowing from beneath the horizon is captured in the HDRI-sphere. When using VrayLight with Dome-setting enabled, it's essential to check "Spherical: full-dome." Resolution The massive resolution of 12272×3472 allows for considerable detail when rendering directly from the viewport (tested up to 8000 pixel wide renders). Package includes The package includes OpenEXR and Radiance HDR-files in their full 360/180 panoramic versions. JPEG-backplates are also provided in a full 360/180 panoramic view. Exposure A 3-step 2-EV setting was used via the Magic Lantern HDR-Bracketing Feature. HDR-rig The HDRI-rig employed is a DIY no-parallax setup on top of a basic tripod. Camera A Canon EOS 60D camera was used to capture these images. Lens A Samyang f3.5/8mm fisheye lens with 180 degrees of horizontal field of view was utilized. Usage These HDR-images are used in various 3D-formats to produce physically accurate lighting, recreating the conditions present in the scene from which they were shot. They can be applied for a range of purposes, including architectural renders and enhancing 3D-scenes with lifelike light conditions.
