Hi,
I would like to know if there is the chance to scale and position the HDRI downloaded from the web.
Most imported HDRI images render look like too large in scale.
Thank you!
You can’t really scale a 360 background as by definition it needs to cover the entire 360 sphere. If you scale it down. you’ll see a border/edge where it ends and distortion since the image is designed to map to a full sphere. You can try a test pretty quickly in photoshop, just make the canvas bigger (try starting with 200%) while keeping the proportion the same, your image will be framed with a large black border or background color. Then in Enscape the background will look “smaller” but as you move the camera around or look up/down, you’ll see where the image ends. And depending how close the background objects are you’ll see fisheye distortion. (less noticeable if it is just a distant horizon.)
There is probably some math that could solve the distortion by unwrapping/ scaling/ rewrapping, but would degrade the image, and you’d still have a portion where the image is “missing” so then you’d need some kind of AI context-aware tool to fill in the gaps. At any rate unfortunately it is not a simple “scale” problem.
@rifkin Thank you for your answer!
It looks like the best way is to scale the model than the image.
