Introduction
The Skydome HDRI-brand is a collection of high-dynamic range images, which displays only the sky-portion of an outdoor setting. Usually the qualities selected under the brand are cloudy and detailed skies. The lighting-condition is natural exterior lighting, with no artificial sources, and captures all spheres of natural lighting.
Description
Beautiful starlight sky with a sun glowing from beneath the horizon. Only top half of the HDRI-sphere is shot, so if using for example VrayLight with Dome-setting enabled, leave the “Spherical: full-dome” unchecked.
Resolution
Massive resolution of 12272×3472 allows the sky to be rendered directly from the viewport with considerable detail (tested with up to 8000 pixel wide renders.)
Backplate
Supplied with a noise-free and film-response processed JPEG-version of the HDR-panorama.
Exposure
3-step 2-EV settings used via the Magic Lantern HDR-Bracketing Feature
HDR-rig
DIY no-parallax rig on top of a “basic” tripod.
Camera
Canon EOS 60D
Lens
Samyang f3.5/8mm fisheye lens with 180 degrees of horizontal field of view.
Usage
It might be confused as to what in actuality the HDR-images are used. They are used in variety of 3D-formats to produce physically accurate lighting (to recreate the lighting conditions present in the scene which from panorama was shot), for variety of purposes. I could say the most used target is to achieve lifelike light conditions to architectural renders, but also for your fantastic 3D-scenes where you want to breathe a bit of life into the images, to bring them from merely ordinary 3D-renders to the hyperreal domain.
