Lesson 9 | V-Ray HDRI – Demo

Updated to V-Ray 3.5
You can use an HDRI map to light a scene with an environment:

// VIDEO IN ENGLISH //

// VIDEO IN ITALIANO //

// VIDEO EN ESPAÑOL //

CONCEPTS:

  • Use V-Ray Light in “Dome” mode (units = default, don’t’ use watts!)
  • Load the HDRI map in the V-Ray Light – TEXTURE channel
  • Increase multiplier to increase the light in the scene
  • Use “horizontal rotation” to rotate the environment

 EXERCISE:

Download this file and repeat the same procedure you watched in the video.

A sample of an hdri map is included in the pack

Note:
Hdri maps are effective for objects, cars, exteriors: everything has no cover on the top.
Hdri maps don’t affect interiors very much (a lot of calculations for small differences)
Always use GOOD and BIG hdri maps. Free HDRIs are usually low-quality maps
