Studio Lighting 013 HDRI

About this asset#

Sweeping white light arches span a grey studio panorama, with smaller ring-shaped highlights near the center of the horizon.

Lighting and scene uses#

Try the curved light shapes on a goblet, bottle or glossy housing to make the surface contour visible. The arches produce a different reflection rhythm from a row of vertical strips. Keep the object, camera and exposure fixed when comparing the two, so the shape of the environment remains the main variable.

Resolution and map details#

The product page lists 10K, 8K, 4K, 2K files in .hdr format. The supplied catalog image is a compressed web preview; load the purchased HDR map for environment lighting. Choose the map resolution to suit the detail visible in your final background and reflections.

Compare lighting in your workflow#

Learn how to set up and rotate HDRI lighting in Blender. Use roughness maps in PBR to understand how surface roughness affects the reflected light pattern.

Compare Medieval Chalice 3D Model — Gold & Red Gemstones to follow the curvature of a chalice using broad arched light reflections. Keep the camera and material fixed when evaluating the change.

Compare Studio Lighting 016 HDRI to compare repeated vertical strips with broad curved light shapes.

Creation approach#

Created in Blender. This is a rendered virtual environment; its lights and surrounding surfaces are part of the panorama.
