Markvl Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 How do Hdri's in VW work? Can I use any image? Are there any limitations? Can one import *.HDR files? If, for instance, I go to Dosch Design and purchase some of their Hdri product will it work in VW? @JimW, @Luis M Ruiz Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 A search of the forums for 'HDRI' gives a bunch of past results, HERE is one that has some info on the requirements for HDRI backgrounds. Also take a look in the help file: Creating Panoramic Image Backgrounds :: Vw2017 Help 1 Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks @rDesignI should have just looked at the help section first. Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Help mentions this, but it's especially useful to note that the brightness and saturation can be set to values higher than 100%. Problem is the render time devoted to experimenting with different values. So, maybe test in a Viewport with lower dpi and lower quality HDRI until basics are established. -B 1 Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Luis M Ruiz Posted August 20, 2017 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 20, 2017 when testing hdris, be sure to turn other lights sources off so you can appreciate what the background provides to the image. Quote Link to comment
