Those background images are looking nice. We can always use more background images for outdoor products. If you do create some 8,000 or 10,000 wide images would you be cool with us using them in our product site renders?
Would be great to have some images with forrests in the distance or mountains in the distance, with great lighting.
bagginsbill and my self have teamed up to create some products together.

Hi Tom
I have procured both the Poser Chevy and the Car Patio, produced by your good self and Bagginsbill. They're very nice... looking forward to seeing more to come :-)
You guys, and anyone else who wants to, are welcome to use these panoramas in renders, both in personal artwork and in commercial product promotions. A credit for the usage would be much appreciated of course ;-)
If anyone would like to distribute the hdr source image files as part of a product package, either a freebie or a for sale item (e.g. if they have a model set and are distributing that with an environment dome part and would like to include an hdr or two to make it user-friendly) then please contact me to check what you're planning is okay by me.
In most cases I can imagine just now (e.g. the example I just gave) that would likely also be fine by me, but its probably wise to reserve the right to veto this, for now.
I guess, at some point in the future, if I get really good at these, and I produced some really deluxe versions, I may consider making some form of commercial version.
But in terms of what I'm producing on this front right now, these are all intended as freestuff... which I think is most appropriate given they're intended as an add-on for Bagginsbill's free Environment Sphere.
Once I've got a decent set of hdrs, at the most suitable resolution, I am thinking I will make a zipped package in an easily installable runtime structure, with some sort of pose file or mat file based method provided to easily apply them, and add a link in the free stuff section here, etc.
Cheers ;-)
