Textures : Free HDRI Probes

Hello, I have just made a little tutorial about HDRI Probe Color correcting in 3dstudio Max:

Hope You like it :)

New Free Probes will be coming soon :)

Downloading them now. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing.

Thanks :) Hope they will give you good results, I'm uploading two new probes :)

Thanks for sharing!

There's a HDRI thread with more links in the Cinema 4D section...

There's probably more threads elsewhere. Used to be one in the 3ds max section, can't find it.

I have just uploaded 3 new probes :). I tried to create a full 360° probe taking two sequence of picture with a 90 ° angle, is there a simply method to blend the two resulting probes? because the only one i found is to remake two LDR sequence from the probes and try to fix the distortion combining each sequence, it's very hard and long!!! Is someone having a solution? Using a probe wich is not full 360° is not a problem for me but it will be better for everybody if the futur probe i'll do cover the full 360% range.

Good rendering, and if there is a problem with the probes mail me :)

Cheers,

Thanks for your generosity!;)

Thanks a zillion for sharing...that for sure will work perfect for me...

But i´m wondering one thing...

How do you set it up to use the little map for lightning, and a different one for reflection?

Do you use the small-lighning in environment, and the big-reflections in the reflections of every single object?

Is it like that, or am i missing something...?

btw, i´m using max too...


Thanks

I'm using Brazil and Vray for the rendering.

Brazil: put the lightmap in the Brazil : Luma Server skylight map slot and the reflect map in the Environment Map slot of 3DSmax Environment panel. Be sure the two map are in Coordinates Environment Spherical

Vray: In Vray Environment you have two overrides : In GI Environment (Skylight) I put the lightmap and in the reflection/refraction etc, environment I put the reflect map

That's it :))

thanks kel...

That mainly covers everything i need to know...

Hello :)
I have updated all probes for a better use: They have been scaled so that the initial exposure is higher (you don't have to use high oupout value in order to produce lightning) and the gamma of lightmap and reflexions map have been adjusted to be used directly in 3d package (HDR pictures are loaded at gamma 1 in software, and you see them by default at gamma 2.2 in HDRShop that's why they appear to be very dark when you don't adjust the gamma)

Is their a way to use HDR maps in Alias Studio Tools?

Sorry Jarred g i don't know Alias Studio Tools rendering capabilities so i can't says if it's possible to use HDR picture with it :blush:
