A word about HDRIs

“

- [Brian] The use of High Dynamic Range images for environment lighting and scene reflections has become pretty much universal in all aspects of the CG industry these days. And so it will be no surprise to anyone that we are, in our V-Ray Next for 3ds Max Training Course, making use of High Dynamic Range images ourselves, these having been downloaded from the excellent HDRI Haven and HDRI-Hub.com websites. Both of which release their content, or at least in part so far has HDRI-Hub are concerned, under a Creative Commons CC0 license, meaning that the person who created the work has dedicated it to the public domain. The end result of this is that we can copy, modify, distribute, and even perform work for commercial purposes using these assets without the need to ask for any kind of permissions. Hence the inclusion in the exercise files download of a number of spherical HDRI files that can be used in a variety of lighting, rendering, and compositing situations.
