Do you want to improve your lighting for automotive renderings and product shots instantly? This collection of real-life based gradient HDRs is for you!Just plug one of these very high-dynamic-range HDRs into your virtual light and build your perfect lighting - in any rendering engine, like VRED, V-Ray, Corona, Octane.
With a resolution of 3000x3000px you will have enough detail even for close-ups with visible reflections and a mind-blowing dynamic range of approx 15-22 EV stops. There are always two variants of the same gradient: one perfect and one imperfect. The imperfect one features more hotspots, paper-textures and uneven areas, which would natuarlly occurr in a real-life photo-studio. If you prefer really perfect gradients, just use those. They are still based on real-life lights and gradients so they still have some detail that you would not get if you would create gradients procedurally in your 3D or 2D application.
Don´t use your lights without HDRs in them - perfect white lights don´t exist in the real world!
Why use these gradients instead of using e.g. a V-Ray Softbox, a gradient ramp, the Gradient Lights from Maverick Renderer etc?
Its fast: you dont need to setup any custom gradient maps, you dont need to create or tweak anything
The small imperfections make them more photorealistic and give detail to your rendering
If you are working in VRED, you need external textures to use gradients in your renderings - these are ready to use and as diverse as you need them
Pre-Release note:
This is a pre-release as I am still working on adding more gradient variations and improving on those in the collection right now. If you have any wishes or requests, even think some of these should be changed for a better quality: please be sure to speak to me. I am all about your satisfaction and helping you be a great artist! The price of this HDR collection will go up once it is released and will most likely be more than double. I am aiming for at least 80-100 gradients in total, maybe even adding some bonus studio panorama HDRs.
