HDRI for old school chess club

Support Lighting and Rendering
1

Some background:
I am revisiting one of the first projects I made with Blender. It is just a chess piece on a chess board.

The unfindable:

I want to use an old school chess club (Wood paneled walls, wooden chairs and tables) HDRI but cant find one. I most likely would have to create my own one but have no idea where to start. I do not want to model the entire room as none of it, except reflections will be in the image. Just need be pointed in the right direction.

Easiest way to make one is with a camera :stuck_out_tongue: Phones can help a lot these days, or stitching a image in photoshop.

Then switch the image to 32bit mode in photoshop, and paint the light sources you want onto the image
