Horo's Free HDRIs

Hi all, I just downloaded and installed Horo's free HDRI's  from the "Free Artist Holiday Items" Xmas promotion, and I can't find any of it.

Can someone say where this will have been installed?

I wanted to try them out with a Bryce scene I have ready.

    As for Bryce, Carrara or Studio: just unpack and save to any place on your computer where you can find them. There are starter documents included that should help you make things work. If you download with DIM (which I do not recommend), just set the destination location where you want the stuff.

    Ah. Knew I'd done something wrong.  I'll see if I can download it again and this time get it to do what I want.

    I've posted a question about finding my account - since it seems well hidden on the Daz Website and I can't otherwise think how to re-download the files.

    I might get somewhere eventually...

    Sorted. Rendering now...

    If you ever need to know the location where DIM has installed you files, select the item in the Installed tab, right click, and then select 'Show Installed Files'.   That will produce a page of clickable links for every file in that set that was installed.

    @Horo - why no shadow catcher in the Carrara renders? sad

    Just poking a little good natured fun - I assume most Carrara users know how to add a shadow catcher material or can easily figure it out, just thought it was funny that the Carrara renders were the only ones without ground shadows - thank you for this, everyone can always use more good HDRI's. laugh

    Thank you Horo  and

    Merry Christmas !

    You are all more than welcome. I hope you find them useful and help to make your Christmas really Merry.

    MDO2010 - I do hope some great Carrara-er will tell me eventually how to make a shadow catcher in Carrara. I had spent quite a while but I am obviously too dumb.

    Thanks, Horo. I tried the Fork one in Daz Studio 4.8 Iray Environment tab, but my character seemed to float above the ground and was not well lit, even though the environment map part of the rendered image was very bright. Is there something else I need to do to use them in DS? I have used a lot of HDRIs from the web, like the Pixar one, and haven't had the same issue, so I'm guessing I need to tweak something for these. Any suggested DS Iray settings, or sample DS renders I can compare with, to see where I have gone wrong or what to expect the render to look like?

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,638

    barbult - the example renders were made with the settings shown in the DS-Iray-HDRIs.pdf document. Don't forget to enable Draw Ground and play with the Ground Shadow Intensity. Then there is Gamma, which reduces contrast. Set it to 1 and ignore the backdrop for a moment until you have the light right.

    You are all more than welcome, Hansmar, FlashGarcia (long not seen here), Electro-Elvis and Eva1. I hope it wasn't my set that screwed up, Eva.
