Hi guys,
I am pretty new to the Corona renderer, I just started learning it by watching tutorials and understanding scenes at the beginning of the week. Before that I simply used the standard render engine from Cinema 4D.
I built a scene from a really old project and tried to do some stuff with it. Unfortunately I’m having trouble setting up the HDRI lighting, it’s just not looking right. I already watched some tutorials for it and used the search button here in the forum, but can’t quite figure out what the problem is.
I bought the HDRI PureLIGHT 9 Pack from Ronen Bakerman, which was in sale. In a text document provided he said the gamma should be at 0.454545, so I gave that a try but it neither this option nor the 1 was really helping the scene.
I’ve put the HDRI map to a Corona material to diffuse and used a filter on it to adjust the gamma etc. I applied the hole thing to a regular sky object without a Corona tag. I used photographic exposure in the render settings and tried ticking the same thing in the camera settings and leaving it out.
Picture 1: Lighting with 0.45 gamma, with photographic exposure in camera settings turned on
Picture 2: Lighting with 0.45 gamma, with photographic exposure in camera settings turned off
Picture 3: Lighting with 1 gamma, with photographic exposure in camera settings turned on
Picture 4: Lighting with 1 gamma, with photographic exposure in camera settings turned off
What am I missing here? I really can’t figure it out. I already tried three different HDRIs but didn’t manage to get it working.
Thank you so much for your help and all the best,
Max
