Hello,
Just launched the Annual Free DS360 XL (19k hdr) Edition 2017/2018 ( CC license ). This free version has a unclipped sun and horizon retouche ( plus smooth gradient transition ).
You can download it here for free.
A commercial version is also available: that one has a new feature *): no sun hdr + separate sun PATCH hdr
with this you can use the no sun version as base and add the sun PATCH in your 3D/comp app for fine-tuning the sun exposure and if needed alter the sun color. Or - for example - just use the no sun version and add your own sun light in your favorite game engine.
More info please see here
*) please note the new version is only implemented in the commercial products.
The following products now have the new feature included:
- Dutch Skies 360° HDRI Autumn Pack 01 Reloaded*
- Dutch Skies 360° Volume 1 Reloaded*
- Dutch Skies 360° XL HDRI 023 (same as the Annual Free DS360 XL (19k hdr) Edition 2017/2018 but differently names but has the new feature implemented and some more options)
Some notes:
- the commercial skies have also the original hdr’s included in the case you want to do your own sun removal or horizon retouche.
- The naming of the updated products is changed: Dutch Skies 360° Volume 1 is now called Dutch Skies 360° Volume 1 Reloaded*. Dutch Skies 360° HDRI Autumn Pack 01 is now called Dutch Skies 360° HDRI Autumn Pack 01 Reloaded*.
- In 2018 new versions will be launched for the following products: Dutch Skies 360° Volume 2, Dutch Skies 360° Volume 3, Dutch Skies 360° Volume 4, Dutch Skies 360° Volume 5 & the DS360 XL serie.
- if you might have some questions better contact me through the contact page of my website (hope you would not mind prefer that above here on the forum).
Upgrade policy:
If you already have a official license (or you won a render contest) just contact me - please mention when you ordered Dutch Skies 360° Volume 1 or the Dutch Skies 360° HDRI Autumn Pack 01. Then will send you a 100% discount code for the new versions.
In 2018 a new upgrade policy will most likely be introduced:
The standard upgrade (so with horizon retouche and unclipped suns) will be still free when you have a official license. From the next release Dutch Skies 360° Volume 2 Reloaded* (launch +/- 1 March 2018 ) there will be paid upgrades when you want to have new feature ( no sun hdr + seperate sun PATCH hdr ) too. The upgrades will be fairly priced.
Greetings
