Edwin Braun Live Recording How to Setup HDRI Workflows in finalRender Free
4Topic: we will discuss HDRI workflow in finalRender Free
Presenter: Edwin Braun Definition of HDRI (see * below)
** First, please download the finalRender Free tier version @ https://bit.ly/2WNpKoi **
*IMPORTANT* - make sure if you d/loaded fR Free before March 25, you must do an update as there was a bug-fix for HDRI recently *

In this Live recording, Edwin Brauns shows you two simple workflows for creating image-based lighting in the background and adjusting for shadows and global illuminations.
Start - Thank you for dropping in and we are at the 3ds Max viewport
4:51 - Where to find the RTX(TM) setting
6:33 - GPU settings
7:29 - About getting HDRI image-based lighting / Material Editor setup
9:10 - HDRI load settings
10:49 - How bright is the sky? Is it good enough for image-based lighting?
13:26 - Environment and Effects setup
14:12 - finalRender setup
15:17 - What are the two ways to work with HDRI?
15:35 - WORKFLOW 1: using the 3dsMax daylight system
16:30 - Skylight as the light source / always use the 3ds Max physical camera with finalRender
18:18 - FrameBuffer and adjusting exposure
19:13 - How to make the background image brighter?
20:00 - Bumping up image brightness
22:18 - *Imp*: understanding how finalRender (pass on sampling HDRI map) analyzes an image for 'light source' and render physical accuracy and creating the skies and sunlight imbalances for correct sampling
26:44 - special finalRender material - called fR- MatteShadowReflection
28:24 - WORKFLOW 2: (no skylight) but using special fR Map (not material): fR-RaySwitch

* "HDRI means High Dynamic Range Image. “Dynamic range” is the amount of data about the brightness of the image; such data is the much larger amount of the information than the human eye is able to catch. I call the most part of the photos and pictures as LDR images or pictures with a low dynamic range. They store 8 bits of data for each of the red, green, and blue channels for each pixel. An example of LDR image is a JPG file. The problem with the LDR image that it is limited to a relatively small range of luminance values from 0 to 255, which is insufficient for the illumination in 3D. Therefore, you need to choose the HDR format." See https://vrender.com/what-is-hdri/
