About this asset
Alternating bright white and grey rectangular panels form a horizontal studio band, with broad neutral reflections fading into black below.
Lighting and scene uses
Use this neutral panel arrangement to check a material before trying the colored Studio 021, 022 or 023 maps. The light and grey panels provide a simple contrast pattern on curved objects. A fixed camera and exposure make it easier to compare highlight width, surface roughness and the readability of dark areas.
Resolution and map details
The product page lists 10K, 8K, 4K, 2K files in .hdr format. Choose the resolution for the detail visible in the final camera framing and reflections. The web image above is a compressed preview; use the purchased HDR file to light your scene.
