Hi Peter~
Already bought a few HDRIs and am loving them. Question on your setup with the vray dome…
The resolution of the texture is capped at 2048 while the resolution of the exr file itself is considerably larger. Do you have a workaround for this or is it just the way it is? My shadow pass seems to be a little noisy when rendered in a pass although the beauty pass looks great. I’m wondering if this might be the cause. I can clean up the shadows by adding sunlight etc. Thoughts?

Thanks for all the amazing information on your site. Mandatory bookmark bar~

Hi Peter,

I like the look of 1217 for a project I’m doing. How can I get hold of it.

Thanks,

Bruce

Hi peter

i was doing the same thing as ur tutorial but i am not getting sharper shadows with sun. i have 2 3 HDRIS of yours but all giving very blurred shadows. My vray sun size is also set to 1 so that i get sharper shadows but the shadows look very very soft and blurred. whys is that? rest all i was able to follow. also do u enable gamma to 2.2 in max- customise -preferences?

please see the shadow problem here

@sergey I normally add contrast back using the curves in the vrayFB. Easy

(in other words, you’re render looks fine, and nothing to worry about)

@henry Hi Henry! You’re right, I have had similar problems with the vrayHDRi loader, and even queried it on the chaosgroup forum (to no avail). So if I use a HDRi with a vraysun, then I just use the normal bitmap loader. Otherwise I prefer the vrayHDRi one.
