This is a collection of HDR skies specially designed to work seamlessly with Blender. I've been using HDRs for the best part of 4 years (including every scene The Architecture Academy trailer) and while I loved the results they produce, I grew frustrated with the problems they introduced. This makes them pretty unsuitable for most artists. They're expensive - Expect to pay anywhere from $30 to $100 for a good HDR sky online.They're unfriendly to artists - Thumbnails are slow to load, and the node setup is fiddly.They frequently crash - Due to their size (typically 200-400mb), it eats up huge amounts of memory.The Problem with HDR LightingĪs good as they are, HDRs come with some rather frustrating problems:

The bottom line is, if you want outdoor lighting that looks realistic, you need HDR lighting. Whereas HDR lighting is based off the real world, so it offers beautifully accurate color and intensity, as well as providing reflections for your objects. Traditional lighting (using lamps) misses out on so many things that are crucial to the realism of your scene.
