HDRI Canvas
"HDRI Canvas" is a shader node group collection that lets you create your own custom HDRI environments.
Set up your digital light studio. Place highlights and craft individual lighting environments.
Perfect for digital photography and product visualization.
Setup
Set up three nodegroups in the World Shader Nodes:
- HDRI Canvas (lets you choose your HDRI Background Color or Gradient)
- HDRI Pin (creates an adjustable light source)
- HDRI Background (sets your visible Background Color)
Every HDRI Pin can be adjusted in size, position, brightness, shape (round/triangle/rectangle/n-gon), color, feathering (for smooth light edges) and corner roundness.
This allows for excellent control over your lighting and keeps your scene tidy and easy to manipulate. All adjustments can be made from a single interface. This makes lighting your scene playful and intuitive.
Stack as many HDRI Pins as you like. There are virtually no limits on how detailed your environment can become.
Note: HDRI Canvas is in a beta state. There are a few shading bugs here and there. Especially when the cameras viewing angle and the Z Axis of your Blender scene are too aligned.
Any suggestions on how to fix bugs or how to improve functionality are welcome here:
