CC0 HDRI resource I just launched, still growing

Hey everyone,

I’ve just launched a new site – openhdri.org – where I’m sharing free HDRI environments for lighting and rendering.

At the moment there are 7 HDRIs online, and I’m uploading new ones almost every day as the library grows. Each HDRI is:

Unclipped (no blown-out highlights or clipped sun)
Full 32-bit OpenEXR format
Ultra-high resolution – up to 29K

Everything is free to download, no sign-up or paywalls.

Since the site is just starting out, I’d really appreciate any feedback or ideas on what kinds of locations/setups would be most useful for you.

👉 Check it out here: https://openhdri.org

Instead of letting individual mesh strands have their own weighted vertex normals, I opted for a global, smoother normals orients (projected from a sphere or a deformed SubD mesh approximating the hair volume like for tree canopies.

Indeed, far better ^^ Nice model btw, gratz ^^

Ooh, I like the hair update, it definitely feels more cohesive and looks really nice when backlit

Lol dude was finally caught on Monday but Czech police can't identify him as being the driver, due too wearing complete racing kit + helmet...probably won't be charged.

Re: Cant scale object in 3ds max

Maybe the scale controller got changed somehow, for example by wiring it to something else in the scene or having a Scale List with a different entry being active. Check in the motion tab of the control panel (solid circle/sphere with motion lines to the left). Default is Bezier Scale.

Re: Orc Warrior - Warcraft style cinematic - feedback for my first portfolio post

Yeah stitches are pretty intense in the normal map. I'd suggest normalizing the map if you haven't already, to see how that looks.

I made a Substance graph for normalizing normal maps, usable in most DCCs that support SBSAR files: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Assets/blob/main/Models/ChronographWatch/screenshot/Substance_Normalize3D.zip
