Week_01; Images & file formats

When up or downloading true HDRI images pay attention to the file format. If it's a jpg it won't give you the wanted result. Make sure that the image you are downloading or using is in the .hdr file format and not a .tiff or .jpg. Here is an example of an HDRI image I have previously used for Image Based Lighting in Maya.


This is how the finished render looks like. The stand is gray and the grass is green but with the effect from the IBL and the .hdr image used it gives it an overall "sunset" look.
