HDRI Backrounds

[davidmurphy991]

Hey All,

I am trying to use HDRI for my Lighting & Backround, when I render my scene I see the HDRI Backround but it appears to have zoomed in?

Here is a couple of images maybe this will explain it a bit better.........

First My HDRI Image




This is my Rendered image showing the backround



As you can see it is showing the HDRI image but it has zoomed in so I am missing some of the image, is this normal?

Yes, Basically the whole image will be wrap around the scene. Like if you were wrapping a sphere with the image. The zoomed image is just the portion of the HDRI that is visible by the camera.

Hey Fernando,

I was watching the featured tutorials by Omar & when he used a HDRI it didn't zoom in the way mine is, is there a way to zoom out so I can see more of my backround, thanks.

No, there no way to control the size of the HDRI, the only thing that you can do is rotate them.

hey david...
the thing with the hdris is that they never change their size...
with a bigger hdri, you keep good proportion, if the hdri is small, it'll fit on your "vray's enviroment" and therefore, it'll be zoomed in.
try with the sites that i said in the tutorials, specially the open footage one...

Hey Omar,

This is one of the HDRI Images from the Openfootage site, nice site BTW.... ;D

Just wondering will my reflections come from the zoomed in backround or the original background file...same for the lighting??

Re: HDRI Backrounds

Couldnt you change the tiling of the image so that it would decrease in size?

Re: HDRI Backrounds

You are going to see the tiled HDRI on the reflection. The best solution is use the HDRI to get some reflection and apply the background in photoshop.
