First HDRI Light Setup

Kudos to boks and nomer for their thread

http://www.cgpinoy.org/vray-for-3d-studio-max-tutorials-f35/making-of-a-night-scene-with-hdri-or-a-sky-bitmap-t9384.htm

although this aint a night scene, it's HDRI supplemental lighting for a day scene. i know it isn't a new technique - pero i was always using just the default IES sun or vray sun to render a scene, HDRI really makes it look better (IMHO).

Vray non LWF, reinhard color mapping, post processed in Photoshop.

Lighting is really nice sir, very realistic

galing..i like the scene, mood. rock on, whiplash..hehe

love it sir mushroom....

^__^

galing talaga..

fantastic realistic rendering..

indeed very nice ambient lighting. sarap sa mata/

panalo to sir,,,ang lamig sa mata..walang eyesore...

sir, more view pa...... hehehhe. astig eh...

wow! may direct light pa rin ba ito sir mushroom?

I did tried HDRI based lighting before, but it always gets me into trouble. I have succeeded with this setup for product renders, but, have yet to come-up with a nice result when using it for exteriors.

You really are the real thing....

Thanks for sharing

Nice setting sir very cool sa eyes.

Nice May vray sun pa rin ba ito?or just the HDRI to light up your scene?

Thanks sirs yup malaking tulong ung tutorial ni boks. I felt I can't get the same result using just a vraysun. Yes meron pa rin syang vraysun to compensate for the shadows. I got the hdri maps from the link boks gave, will also experiment vertex's suggestion for using a spherical bitmap instead. Although ill prob prefer using a vrayhdri map because you can control the intensities.

Ed kelangan din tlga I tweak cos u might not get the desired result agad. The way I did this was start with an hdri first, making sure I got the right ambience muna before applying the vraysun.

^^
I see sir...so, yun pala ang pinaka workflow na mangyayari. I'll try this one on a free time...

And post ko din dito sa forums yung magiging result ng aking experimento.

stunning render! really nice work

ganda ng sikat ng araw!galing po!

very nice results bro! love it!

simple but elegant,,nice sir

lighting is perfect!! pede b masilip yung raw?

thanks for the comments guys! i really dig this workflow. a lot of the newbies are already using this i presume, so im a bit late in discovering/using this technique. here's another:

picture perfect master.
