I did each setup in real life first or observed the lighting from friends of mine who are professional photographers. Instead I built all of these around actual scenes where I used common scene staging and camera placement with lighting motivated by actual real world lighting. Perhaps there was a motivation for the lighting but I am not sure what it was and that leaves me as an artist at a loss given the time it takes to load a new HDRI and trying to dig through tens of them and pick one for a scene based on how the light looks on a sphere. My main reason for wanting to sell this is because despite the many free studio style environment lights I see available online, many of them seem pretty arbitrary. I spent the last week working on an image based lighting pack which I am now selling on gumroad.

I really want to post here about this just because I have been with blender artists for so long now and I think that with the creativity that shows up on this forum that it would be a great platform to share this with all of you.Īnyone on here who works with me or has helped me or maybe I have helped knows I love my case studies and I am constantly growing my library. In the meantime, I am still here to answer any questions regarding lighting for different types of shots and am here to help however I can.

I will in the future remake the problem HDRIs from scratch and re-upload the pack in a way that is not in violation of any agreements. EDIT: Unfortunately due to a misunderstanding with licensing regarding some of the HDRIs content, I had to take the product down.
