Get ready to take your 3D work to the next level!
HDRi Maker is a revolutionary add-on for Blender that allows you to quickly and easily create super realistic lighting and environments for your 3D models. With over 480 HDR/EXR backgrounds included, once installed, you can easily add the customizable Dome to your scene and use the powerful Wrap and Hooks system to create truly unique and dynamic scenes.
Experience your models like never before with HDRi Maker’s Dome. See for yourself how realistic and dynamic your scenes can be:
Step into the world of HDRi Maker and take your 3D models to new heights
With real ground projection and shadow capture, you can bring your animations to life inside the dome.
Add a masterstroke to your 3D model
Transform a simple background into a unique and realistic background that surrounds your 3D model
New and customizable domes with the new Hook system
In this new version of HDRi Maker Studio I have introduced 2 new types of dome, one in the shape of a Cube and one in the shape of a Cylinder, these can be modified in their perimeter thanks to the new “Hooks” functionality, this allows you to match the geometries present in the images, in order to have a wall in the point and simulate the environment where the HDR was taken.
Shadow Catcher works in Cycles and Eevee
The shadow catcher normally works only in Cycles, with the help of HDRi Maker you can use it also in Eevee, in addition you can also add reflections on it. This is useful if you want transparency using the lighting of an HDR / EXR
Blur on the dome
At the request of many users, I have inserted the possibility of simulating the Blur directly on the Dome and also on the Background. It works according to the point of view even in Preview mode, without having to use the camera.
This render shows the Blur on the dome, rendered with Cycles:
Almost 500 Backgrounds included
All backgrounds are well categorized in Libraries / Categories with tags and an easy to use search system.
Import and use your HDR / EXR images
There are many sites out there where you might have downloaded HDR or EXR images, The nice thing is that you can import your HDR or EXR images on the fly and use them as if they were those of the HDRi Maker Studio library. This allows you to use them in the dome or simply as a background for your scene, taking advantage of all the features of HDRi Maker Studio!
