New HDR Skies

I was in Ouarzazate, Morocco this week shooting some new HDR skies. Hopefully 20+ to add to the online shop sometime soon. In the meantime, this is a timelapse of the somewhat boring process of shooting HDR skies. 45 minutes compressed into 30 seconds.

Corona 1.0 & FREE HDR skies

I'm sure you already know that Corona 1.0 has finally been released, but did you know that when you buy it you will get either a 10% or 20% off discount for my HDRi Sky Shop? (depending on which flavour of Corona you choose) Read more about the various discounts on offer here.

You can also download two half resolution skies for free in the resources/materials section of the website.

As always - I'd love to see any work made with my skies. You may even get a free sky in return!

HDR Sky Shop

You may have noticed that my shop is offline for now, this is due to new EU VAT regulations which means I need to reorganise things and also wait till Squarespace do the same.

In the meantime, I may be able to sell packs of skies directly, accounting for VAT in the correct way depending on your location. Please email me if interested: peter@peterguthrie.net

Thanks for your patience!

Reminder - 3DOcean

Another, and possibly final, reminder that I will be removing my HDRi skies from 3DOcean at the end of August 2014.

IF you bought skies there prior to September 2012, please take note of this post.

Thanks!

Goodbye 3DOcean

After many years selling my products on 3DOcean, it's time to say goodbye and concentrate on improving my products and preparing new ones for my own online shop.

This post is mainly for all the people who have bought my products over the years and may have missed the fact that all of the skies received a much needed update in September 2012. If so, you should log in to your 3DOcean account and download your purchased products again!

Once the skies are gone from 3DOcean, there will be no way for you to get the update. I will leave the skies online until the end of August.

 

HDR Skies - Series One Favourites

Not sure which skies to buy? Obviously I would suggest that you buy all of them, but I decided to put together a list if you are looking for a good selection which happen to be my most used and favourites from series one.

0743 - Dramatic, a great mix of low sun and moody clouds, as used on Quest.
0839 - Lovely warm light - see my interiors on the Haus Hafner project.
0902 - Overcast sky, very flexible. I used it on Glenstone and even the Tind Dusk shots.
1008 - VERY overcast! As seen on Allandale and Twins.
1123 - High sun angle, useful in a lot of scenarios. One example: Plain Space.
1433 - Nice sunny day with some white clouds.
1739 - Similar to 1725, but I prefer this one. I used it for the Kilburn Vale project.
1847 - A nice soft dusk sky, used on some of the Ziphouse renders.
1928 - A great general dusk sky. Examples here and here.
1941 - My favourite dusk sky, used most recently on the Ando project.
