HDR panoramas and sIBL setups

This site contains HDR (High Dynamic Range) panoramas and sIBL (smart Image Based Lighting) setups that can be used to quickly obtain photorealistic lighting in computer graphics. Most of them were created for my own usage, but I decided to share them with you. Some shots were taken with my old cameras and lenses, and these are usually free. They can be used for noncommercial work with no restrictions. Some panoramas and sIBL setups are paid. You can use them for both commercial and noncommercial projects.

The smart IBL setup is packed into zip file in separate folder and contains three main elements:

  • a high resolution low dynamic range panorama as camera background
  • an HDR as specular component for reflection
  • a low resolution blurred version of HDR panorama for environment lighting

The remaining files are: thumbnail image and .ibl text file gathering sIBL information. You can just extract the whole directory to your sIBL colletion folder. By default sIBL GUI should detect additional sIBL setup and add it to your collection database.
