The Forest Awakens: 16K HDRIs
Enjoy 3 Super high resolution HDRIs for your renders! Each HDRI is available in 16, 8, 4, and 2K resolution.
This package contains 3 late spring forest scenes, with a mossy ground, a majestic path and a fallen tree. Lush, green moss and near sunset creating a gentle glow for lighting your scenes, or for your surroundings.
The 16K HDRI is very useful if you want to render it both as a light emitter and a background. As the image is wrapped around a sphere, more resolution is needed than a flat background image in order to preserve detail. With a 16K HDRI you will be able to retain a sharp and clear background even for high resolution render. However, it is somewhat taxing on graphics resources, so if you are rendering a smaller image, use a narrow depth of field, or only need it for the lighting, the 4K or eve 2K is more than sufficient, the lighting quality will be pretty much the same.
What is an HDRI? An HDRI is a 24 or 32-bit equirectangular image wrapped inside a sphere, providing realistic lighting from all directions. Not only this, the high dynamic range in the image contains information beyond the visible eye, which enables it to cast lights, shadows and produce highligts in reflections. Each photo in an HDRI is taken with multiple exposures, ranging from dark to super bright, then combined to form an image with higher dynamic range. These HDRIs have a dynamic range of 12-24 EVs. 24Evs for the third image which has full sun exposure.
16K = 16000 x 8000
8K = 8000 x 4000
4K = 4000 x 2000
2K = 2000 x 1000
A 2K .jpeg ref is also included so that you can easily preview the HDRIs without having to load them first.
Please note, that the 16K files are large in size, and can be slow to load in your program, but for higher resolution renders with the HDRI as a background, they will look much sharper.
