HDR Sky Maps for 3D Rendering and VFX

Here we go, ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce HDR Sky Maps for 3D Rendering and VFX!

Real HDR 1.3 is being baked in this very moment with the new SkyLight fragrance

With this new feature, you can generate unlimited amount of 32-bit HDR Sky images to be used in your CGI productions. Day and night, dusk and dawn, pollution and haze, humidity and clear air – everything you can imagine in one software.

This is the launch release of SkyLight Module for Real HDR, but we already have a bunch of new features in our roadmap as clouds, weather conditions, environment and more. This update will be free for our customers and supporters from all around the world. The release is planned for Sunday 25th November, save the date (or purchase it today for the discounted price).

In the meanwhile, have a look at the new UI

SkyLight module

It is time to make it official: the upcoming release of Real HDR 1.3 will feature new modules! Some of you already know since we were talking about it via e-mail or Messenger, but now this is official for everybody. Skylight module (former Procedural SC or DayLight) is a working prototype for high quality and high-resolution skylight authoring. As said, there will be a small price change for new licenses, while it will be for free for who already purchased and supported me in this R&D period.

Real HDR modules

Starting from version 1.3 we are going to add modules in Real HDR. You can imagine modules as workspaces or plug-ins where a user can obtain a totally different EXR. This is a big change and will let us keep simple UI for complex results. Think about interior rendering, product rendering, and architectural arch-viz; it would be quite messy the UI at a certain point. This is why we are splitting the UI in modules, each focused on a different topic.

You may see the upcoming “SkyLight Module” in the first part of this video, where the user logins. We are also going to update our EULA and (probably) there will be a small price change…while of course, the updates are going to be free for who already owns one or more licenses.

In the video, you can also see a user-requested feature that allows the docking of the main panel in the “PhotoBooth Module” (the former main UI). This way it is possible to reach and work in areas below the horizon/ground level

Progressive rendering

The progressive rendering mode I’m working on renders in progressive resolution and freezes the blending process, allowing you to drag and drop both SpriteLights and DarkMarks.

Real HDR for Mac OSX

And here we go, Real HDR 1.2 for Mac is now available!

Real HDR Mac

the porting was quite fast and the App is code-signed so Mac’s GateKeeper should not complain if you download the App outside of the Apple AppStore. HERE is the direct link.

Real HDR Mac OSX

We created a guided Mac installer too, to simplify the process of placing the App in the right place. You can change the location but the default path (HDD/Applications) is usually the best choice.
Have fun with Real HDR for Mac!

Real IES 3 trailer

Our video editor, Mattia Borghetti, just made this trailer for our other software, Real IES 3, taking inspiration from the great Persona 5 video game. I know this is a different topic, but it is worth watching it.
