Better previews for HDRI maps

[Richard7666]

Showing them on a chrome shader ball or something would be nice. Or even a scene, like what Peter Guthrie does with his.
At the moment we can't really tell what tones it will have or how sharp shadows are etc, except by guessing

Hi Richard7666,

We are working to improve the HDRI preview images, and we will update them soon.

Thanks for your feedback,

Hi Richard7666, the HDRIs category is updated now and it includes a few improvements:

• New main preview;
• Added "context" previews showing how the HDRIs illuminate an exterior scene (rotated by 90 degrees);
• The HDRI files are now smaller in size and they are faster to load in V-Ray;

Best regards,
