In this live event, Jay shows how to create and work with your own HDR images in Daz Studio. We see how to use existing scenes, set up a spherical camera, combine images in Photoshop, and use the resulting HDRI in Daz Studio for faster rendering.
Jay will be using items from the Michael 9 Fantasy Mega Bundle:

Hello Jay. I just watched you live. Very good show. I wanted to say that you can render an HDRI of Wonderland with Daz canvases. Just not with Environment lighting. Most of the lights in Wonderland are emisive lights. You Have to render that with Emisive in Canvases. It's a lot easier than combining everything in Photoshop. Just tried it and it works.
Great video on HDRIs and I will probably be using them in Daz 3D now I have got a more powerful PC that has got an RTX 3060 GPU as have been rendering out with Octane using hdris.
Very Useful. Thanks.
