2 Free Filter Forge Environment HDRI's

Hi there,

Just thought I would offer these two gifts to the Filter Forge Community as a thank you for all the wonderful, exciting and sometimes, sublime filters that have been produced.

Another 2, possibly 3 will follow shortly

They have been converted at the highest resolution available in Filter Forge, 1000 x 500 from the original Sachform 3000 x 1500 HDRI file

Let me tell you this was no mean feat, the backyard one took about 6 hours and the hallway one took 4.5 hours, why isn't this proccess multi-threaded ?!, after all I have got a Dual Quad-core machine

The 'Backyard' HDRI is my personal favourite, it gives fantastic reflections both when crisp and when blurriness is introduced, although it does require the brightness to be ramped up quite a bit, between 450 / 480 - also, at high saturations, this HDRI looks fantastic on polished surfaces.

Enjoy

That's a good point Jffe, no, incidentally I don't work for Sachform, just own HDRIBase 1 & 2, honestly, never even gave copyright a thought

I'm sure if this is a problem, this post will be removed...

Can't comment on the licensing, I think Vlad will drop by tomorrow and clarify about the issue, but the I can comment on the multithreading -- the integration process itself supports multithreading (scales up almost linearly), we just had no time to properly implement the UI for this not-too-often-used feature
