HDRI Base Volume 1
HDRIbase Vol. 1 is available in 3 different versions: HDRI, EXR, or both. See
bottom for details
The HDRIbase texture CD-ROM enables the user to do a very quick and realistic
ligthing setup for 3D-scenes. No more trouble with hours of tweaking to get
a realistic lighting, just open a HDRI/EXR and render it with your preferred
application (the application must be able to support the .hdr-format). Most
3D-applications are able to deal with HDRIs natively or by assistance of a plug-in.
And the HDR images on these CD-ROMs are able to do even more. Being real 360°/360°
hemispherical panoramas without any disturbing elements (e.g. camera/photographer),
the operator is able to use them as high-end source of reflection for his/her
renderings. This means that you can turn your background freely and multi-directionally
in order to receive the most suiting viewing angle for your scenes. No more
distortions from the backside of a mirror ball, no camera or photographer inside
the reflection of your architectural presentations.
- 40 different locations (*.hdr+*.jpg)
- Images in 3000x1500 pixels
- color and monochrome version of each location (-> 80 HDR images)
- all images are full spherical panoramas
- no disturbing elements (camera, photographer, etc.)
- Easy to use database-interface
- contains HDR and LDR version

The HDR images are presented in a hemispherical format (latitude / longitude
/ p-sphere map) so that you can use them easily as environment background or
as mapping on a surrounding sphere. Thus it is possible to use them in nearly
every 3D-application which is able to deal with the .hdr-format.
