New HDR Skies

November 16, 2015

2 new 14k skies added to www.pg-skies.net, 0709 Dawn and 1935 Late Sun.

1935 (above) has a lovely warm low sun. Note how different it looks when simply rotating the sky through 90, 180, 270 degrees.

'1735 Clear' HDR Sky Update

November 14, 2015

Just wanted to share 4 renderings using the updated version of '1735 Clear Sky', which features a more accurate sun intensity. More details about this change to follow.

If you have previously bought this sky from www.pg-skies.net you should already have received an email with new download instructions.

360 Panorama

November 12, 2015

Another 360 this time using the work I did for Tom Phifer & Partners as a base.

Double click for full screen, or if on a smartphone/tablet, click here

The HDRi sky I am using here is an updated version of 1735 Clear Sky which I have edited to adjust the strength of the sun. This means you no longer need to employ the lowered gamma workflow that I have been using up till now.

I'll update 1735 in the store soon, anyone who bought it from www.pg-skies.net should get an update notification email and can re-download for free.

New Sky - 1958 Night

November 4, 2015

Finally, a new sky on www.pg-skies.net, '1958 Night', which is a DARK sky. To be used when you want a really dark night sky.

New Sky - 1714 Clear Sky

May 19, 2015

1714 Clear Sky is now available on www.pg-skies.net

Saturated blues, strong warm direct light. 31.3 degrees sun angle, 14000px wide and very high dynamic range.

House on the Lake - Giona Andreani

April 27, 2015

Another great project spotted on www.ronenbekerman.com, this time by Giona Andreani

Rendered using Corona, but interestingly still using the chaosgroup Phoenix FD ocean texture for the water. Giona used Corona sun for the day shot, and my 1941 HDRi sky for the blue image and 2003 for the b&w.

Lake Lugano House - Vray for Sketchup

April 20, 2015

You might recognise this house from a previous post on this blog, Lake Lugano House by Jame Pickford. This one is different in that it was all modelled, assembled and rendered within Skethcup using Vray for Sketchup. There is a really excellent tutorial on Ronen Bekerman dot com which I encourage you to go and read.

Interesting to see how he uses HDRi Skies (1957 Dusk Clear) in Vray for Sketchup and uses proxies to handle complex geometry and to see all of the other ways in which Vray for Sketchup has developed since I last used it several years ago.

Great work by David Santos of LAB Visualizacion
