The Unexpected Oasis HDRI by Rwannka

---

---

After long days of wandering in the desert, who would have thought there would be an oasis just here? Though, there is. Just waiting for someone to come and rest on its banks.

This product contains 5 HDRI versions on an oasis lost in the desert (2 midday, 2 sunrise/sunset, 1 midnight). Each of these versions is available in 2k, 4k, 8k and 16k resolution, with a Daz Studio render-setting preset for each of them.
Furthermore, several tone mapping options are joined to offer more variations again.

The render-setting presets are created for Daz Studio and optimized for Iray, but you can of course use the .hdr files in any app able to open a HDRI.

So, don't wander anymore! Come and rest in this charming and unexpected oasis!


Resoltion:
-------------

- 2k = 2000*1000px
- 4k = 4000*2000px
- 8k = 8000*4000px
- 16k = 16000*8000px


Special Thanks:
---------------------

Thanks to Jack Tomalin for helping me by rendering some of the HDRIs on his render farm; it would be really too long for me rendering them on my own computer.


Complementary Instructions:
---------------------------------------

Due to the size of some maps, the product is splitted in 3 zip files. To install it, please unzip all of them in your library.


Special Note:
------------------

I originally created the first version of this HDRI for the September 2025 - Daz 3D New User Challenge. That's what made me want to create other versions, testing different tone mapping settings, and finally, create this HDRI product.
All the .hdr files were created in Vue 2023; I hope you'll enjoy it!
