Lightmap has also made six of the area light maps provided inside HDR Light Studio available to download. The maps were created in HDR Light Studio, which enables users to design their own synthetic HDRIs or edit existing HDRIs: the download also includes the HDR Light Studio project file. The files are provided as 3,000 x 1,500px EXRs and can be used as environment lights in DCC applications, including 3ds Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, and game engines. Lightmap’s free HDRIs are intended for portfolio renders and product visualization, and mimic real studio lighting set-ups, including both the illumination created and the reflections of light sources and reflectors.
The HDRIs were created with HDR Light Studio, Lightmap’s lighting design software, and are available alongside six of the area light maps available inside the application. Lightmap has released a pack of 25 free HDRI maps mimicking real-world studio lighting set-ups.
