Or by using a procedural IBL like this. The figure is lit only by this IBL and nothing else. No fancy shaders either.

Try playing with the colors in the Blender. The HDR "sun" intensity in this "image" is in the upper right Math node - the 5 means 5 times 100% brightness. Change it to 0, 1, 2, 10, etc.

The details in IBL images do not matter. IBL lighting is about averages. Imagine that you are standing outside and you take a photo. Then you go cut down one of 30 nearby trees, exposing a bit more sky and take another photo. Is there any meaningful difference in the lighting except close to that tree? No.

So having detailed pictures of leaves or just a smear of green - it's the same thing.

Detailed sky, or just a smear of blue, same thing.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
