Spherical hdri Panorama

General / 12 March 2023


This image of Unity Park was stitched from 27 different bracketed shots of seven images each covering a dynamic range of 14ev. Also, I took an additional 7 shots of the sun using a 15 stop neutral density filter and layered it into the image to capture that extra brightness information. The captured high dynamic range makes this useful for lighting 3d scenes. Stitching and lots of masking out of people was done in PTGui. Additional editing was done in GIMP. The animation was created using Unreal Engine 5.
