Hdri Maker 2.088 For Blender 2.9+

Finally full immersion in an HDRi environment:

With 1 click, you can create animated fog:

You can add the backgound material to any object: 

in this example I use an object created with “A.N.T.Landscape” already present in the addons of your Blender

Now it’s easy to create videos inside your dome

This example was rendered in Eevee, about 1 second per frame with an 8k background on a GTX1080TI.

More freedom of video with the camera:

Note: Not all backgrounds will be perfect for this type of animation (Although all image based backgrounds can be used for this purpose)

All backgrounds with open panoramas are very good for this purpose

Have you ever thought of animating a vehicle inside an HDRI without inserting any other 3D model? Now it’s simple:

This background is already included in HDRi Maker

Do you want to dig into the projected ground? No problem:

The new wrap button is designed to interact with the terrain (Water from Extreme PBR addon)
