tomlowe Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Hello! Just looking to update my HDRI library and garden plants/tree library. I would appreciate your opinions on whats worth purchasing? Many Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Brown Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 PG Skies all the way. I've heard good things about CG Source but haven't tried them. As for plants I'm all for procedural, so maxtree would be a first hand choice as you can then adjust them if you own GrowFX. I often find that plant libraries out there are either too basic, or too detailed that the tree practically crashes your system. I like to have control over that. If you don't own GFX then Evermotion models are generally good. Steer clear of CG Axis... their plants look fake. No offence to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomlowe Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thanks Terri, I had not heard of Maxtree there stuff looks really good quality! I also found a bundle of HDRIs from VizPeople for £50 which seemed pretty good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Brown Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 You can still purchase Maxtree without GrowFX - you just want be able to adjust the models. I have some VizPeople skies - also good but I prefer PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francisco Penaloza Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hey there, Here is the best free HDRI libraries on my opinion: -Pixabay -Pexels -Skitterphoto -Unsplash -HDRI Haven -HDRMAPS -Aversis 3D -HDRI-SKIES I don't know many of these free HDRI but what I know is that you should be careful when using free hdri, because most of them are not really HDR or their range is very limited, also the majority of them has not correct white balance, hence the typical bluish tint that you see in most of them. LDR and not fixed white balance will display color splotches, not hard shadows ( when fully sunny) and other problem that we see very often asking in this mere forum and others. FYI.

Morne Erasmus Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 It would depend on what you want it for? If you have the budget.... https://www.domeble.com/ These are mostly for high-end automotive, but there's some nice sky shots in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
