About this asset
A rough stony trail descends between scrub-covered slopes toward distant mountains under a bright sun.
Lighting and scene uses
Use the open trail for a hiking backpack, outdoor tool or landscape study. The loose stones give scale cues, so keep the subject size consistent with the foreground. Build a local patch of rough ground for contact shadows instead of expecting the pictured trail to interact with the model.
Resolution and map details
The creator’s ArtStation 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 22 EVs of dynamic range. This is a product specification, not a measurement made from the JPEG preview.
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.
