What do VRED artists think?
In the past, a HDRI was a closed format for us. We had to use it 'as it was'. With HDR Light Studio, these files are open and fully accessible - it's like painting with light! This tool gives us total creative freedom and we absolutely love the VRED Live plug-in.
Lean Design
HDR Light Studio was the perfect tool and we could easily put the reflections where we wanted them. With the fast preview render we were able to see immediately the effect on the body shape, and this way we could quickly achieve the perfect results.

Connection Features
Shared Map
HDR Light Studio's environment map (canvas) is shared with VRED. During the lighting process a lower resolution map is used for interactive speed. For the final production rendering in VRED - a full resolution, high dynamic range image is generated and passed through the connection.
Click to Light
Purchasing a connection allows artists to click on the model within VRED viewports to position lights on the map.
Embedded Projects
The HDR Light Studio lighting project is embedded within the VRED scene file. So the scene lighting can be reloaded and edited in the future.
