IBL for studio setup?

Support Materials and Textures

I’ve been doing searches for different terms but obviously I either don’t know the right one or there isn’t yet a thread about it.

I’m trying to light a car model of mine by using yafray and image based lighting (ibl). I’ve got some nice skies and such but I am aiming for a studio lighting setup. The kind with white planes reflecting the light. Now from reading blenderart magazine no.3 I know hdr files for this type of lighting exists. In fact, on page 7 of said magazine you can see an example. But I can’t seem to find one for use with my model.

So what I am trying to ask: Where do I find neutral hdr images where neutral means “containing light information without background”?

Thanks for any pointers :slight_smile:

if you dont want to see the background you will have to use the alpha channel to composite the background.
