The reason I ask is I'm trying to get good reflections and lighting from some free, evidently LQ HDR images that I found. Everything appears muddy. I haven't found a good sky yet with good blues (seems HDR makers dont want to give em up. Basically, I'm trying to see if IBL or HDR is worth it. I'd crop out the bottom half as I'm building the environment...just want a good sky. It seems to heavily affect the render time. 1. Does anyone know where to get 1 hq sample HDR daytime sky? I tried the backroom but no samples there. I'd buy more if they work but I wanna see how good I can get it looking before I decide. 2. Anyone who has worked with HDR, care to drop some knowledge?
