SceneSkies, the HDRI manager addon and HDRI collection for large-scale scenes, has just been updated.

After months of work, version 1.1 of the addon is finally ready to download:

• addition of addon’s preferences and a data folder for storing the panorama files
• use your own HDRIs
• render cubemap
• more color-tweaking options
• separation of HDRIs into collections

The add-on is now FREE and GPLed. Yes!

And the collections of HDRIs are also free at 4k. Higher resolutions up to 16k can be purchased at different prices, they are very affordable.

A whole new collection of panoramas is available:

It depicts a forest of conifers, along with human-size bushes and some rocky grounds. There are dense and sparse areas. The terrain is very rough, with plateaus and medium-size canyons. In the horizon are mountains chains all around, from far to very far.

• 22 panoramas
• Camera at about 300 meters high
• 3 different weather conditions: clear, cloudy, overcast
• 6 times of the day for each weather condition, from dawn/dusk to almost noon
• 4 night times, with and without moon light

For the occasion, there is a 25% discount for a limited time on all the HDRI collections.

See all the details on the website.

Happy Blending :)
