I made some HDRI's for you all.

Feel free to use these in any way you wish.

This is what they look like after I tonemapped them and compressed them into JPEGs. Note the colors have been altered from the originals the actual files look a little different.

Tonemapped + renders: (Link to download the .hdr files at the bottom)

And a helpful node setup:


Make sure to click the world icon in the node editor. The Z rotation controls what way you are looking.

They are 6000x2000 and roughly 56 MB each.

They look nice. What’s the exposure range?

Thanks! I shot them +2/-2 with a canon 5d mkii. I used a Panosaurus panoramic tripod mount. Stitched with Ptgui.

Thank you very much!

Thank you , I will try these out :smiley:

i like collecting HDRI’s, what would be nice are some parking lots(like Wal-mart etc…)
or a gas station day and night under the awning ( i know the second one would be more difficult.)

thanks for these. :slight_smile:

wow! thanks for sharing!

I might just do that. I have a friend who works at a gas station who would probably be willing to help out. During the day might be tough though, the first pano (on the road) took 4 tries. Every time I would get half way through shooting a car would pull up causing me to move then start over, so I imagine that a gas station during the day would be a nightmare.

Have you looked at using more exposure steps (greater range)? i know the 5d mk2 cant do it internally, but we have been looking into the magic lantern as a way of being able to shoot multiple exposure steps at once.

The benifit of this is to really define what is the blackest black point and the whitest white point… really helps with the sun / shadows to get nice crisp shadows.

wow – these are great – thank you very much for this – really appreciated!

Great lookin photos. Thank you - i will use them for sure :smiley:

No silly site registration required…

SOLD! :smiley:

Thanks for these!

So CUTE! :slight_smile: Thanks!

Very cool !
Thanks !

absolutely great stuff - thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Thank you for offering these Moxie. I noticed your from Appleton, WI, I used to travel for business up in that area quite a bit. I’m sure your a Packer fan.

I’m working on a project now (see One arm bandit in my signature) that I really could use an HDRI from the inside of a casino… desperately scouriing the web, but I think it is going to be almost impossible. If anyone knows where one could be found, either free or paid, let me know.

Much apreciated moxiecrimefight!
Regards.

Here’s a quick render. Suzanne is a bit grainy.
