About this asset
A grassy mountain slope lies between two stretches of road, overlooking layered ridges under a clear blue sky.
Lighting and scene uses
Try this roadside panorama for outdoor equipment against a spacious mountain background. Check the slope and road-edge height before placing the object. Use a local ground patch to control contact shadows while keeping the distant ridges as the environment backdrop.
Resolution and map details
The product listing specifies 10K, 6K, 3K, 1K files in .hdr format and identifies the map as unclipped. The web image is a compressed preview; load the purchased HDR file as your environment texture to use its lighting data. Choose the resolution according to the detail visible in the background and reflections.
The creator reports 24 EVs of dynamic range. This is a product specification, not a measurement made from the JPEG preview.
