Sky 007 Sun and Wispy Clouds HDRI

About this asset#

Sky 007 Sun and Wispy Clouds HDRI pairs image-based lighting with this environment: a bright star-shaped sun shines through fine wispy clouds in a blue sky.

Lighting and scene uses#

Try this sky when a clear environment leaves broad reflective surfaces looking too uniform. Rotate the wispy cloud region onto a curved panel, then compare the sun direction without changing your camera. Judge highlight size from the HDR render rather than the star shape in this web preview.

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 map resolution according to the detail visible in your background and reflections.

The creator reports 24 EVs of dynamic range. This is a product specification, not a measurement made from the JPEG preview.

The supplied image shows the sky with black below it. Preserve that preview layout and add ground geometry for a complete scene. The JPEG does not establish the lighting contribution of the purchased map below the horizon.

Compare lighting in your workflow#

Use the HDRI ground plane workflow to align the horizon and establish contact shadows. The Blender environment lighting guide covers a repeatable setup for rotating and comparing maps.

Compare Sky 008 Clear Blue Sun HDRI with this environment to evaluate fine cloud structure around a clear sun. Keep camera, material and exposure consistent while judging the difference.
