G_Hannigan Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I posted this in the Texture Share section, probably better here. Free sky HDRI's at Evermotion: http://www.evermotion.org/index.php?unfold_exclusive=84&unfold=exclusive George Quote Link to comment
Dave_Donley Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Very Helpful, George. Please post any others that you come across! Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 A dummy here. I usually do basic renderings of sets and lighting for theatrical use. Can someone give a quick intro to what HDRI is and how to use it? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
G_Hannigan Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Jim, You can get more info here: http://www.debevec.org/Research/HDR/ "Introduction Film cameras were developed in order to record light so that it could be reproduced on photographic paper; digital cameras so that it could be reproduced on a computer screen. Neither computer screens nor paper can display nearly the dynamic range (ratio between dark and bright regions) as what is present in the real world, and as a result cameras are not designed to capture even close to such a range. However, by taking a series of pictures with different exposure settings the range can be covered. With this technique such a series of images can be combined into a single high dynamic range image called a radiance map. Radiance maps are useful for representing true illumination values in image-based rendering applications, and are useful for recording incident illumination and using this light to illuminate CG objects for realistic compositing (see the SIGGRAPH 98 paper on image-based lighting.) Recent work has proposed techniques for using high dynamic range images as texture maps in realtime graphics applications (see the EGWR 2001 paper on Real-time High Dynamic Range Texture Mapping.)"

propstuff Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 A dummy here. I usually do basic renderings of sets and lighting for theatrical use. Can someone give a quick intro to what HDRI is and how to use it? For theatrical, probably not much use. Think of an image Background, crossed with an Area light. The (HDR) image IS the light source. What you get is a highly realistic lighting simulation of the light coming from "real" objects in a scene. Like I said: not much use for theatre.;-) cheers Quote Link to comment
APE Design Ctr Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Heres a whole whack of free HDRI's. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/10152791/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/9597501/ http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/10036562/ Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 look at this blog: http://web.mac.com/jpickup1/iWeb/Site/archoncad/2F5434CE-F46D-42E1-9657-CA9564A7F79C.html Quote Link to comment
Jim_Allen Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Jonathan, Am trying out the "you send it.com " web site you mentioned in your blog. rial sending a 2 mg file and it seems to be taking a long time. I have cable DSL. What upload times are you getting, on what size files? Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 i don?t know what upload speeds I get, i can't remember what it said last time. Even if it?s slow, the ability to send 50MB files is fantastic Quote Link to comment
