Tommy L Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Dosch does the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Nichols Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Sachform is good too. under Dosch, I would recommend the super high res one. Those are made with the sphereon camera and are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Can someone help me with this whole HDRI situation. Why are there so many interior HDRI's? And I have seen so many exaples (like at Dosche's extreme high res) where the image is so specifix (oil well in BG or under a bridge) that it would seem hard to find an application that would use that image. At least for arch viz and esp. for reflections. Maybe some would be great for dramatic lighting of a single product but a room with 1 light and 1 window and brown walls that seems like something I would never use. Whats up? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also thought this. Not NEARLY enough good all-purpose backgrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Interior HDRIs are very useful for reflections which is juyst as important as diffuse lighting, if not more. In fact, they are huge. Keep in mind that in things like feature films that use renderman, HDRIs are mainly used for reflections. Lets say you have a room with lets say a robot that has a lot of cool brushed metal on it. You want that metal to pick up interesting specular hits. Can only do that with an HDRI that has lots of light sources in it. On the other hand, I can see how indoor ones are not as needed for people rendering buildings or interiors. Super useful for people doing characters.
