HDRI Environmental Image maps tutorial recommendation

mmitch2k

Can someone recommend a good Daz3d tutorial that would walk you through the setting up of HDRI enviroment maps and how to apply it to a scene. Maybe also recommend a good place toget free images to practice on. Thank you .

I'm not aware of a tutorial but I think doing a DAZ iRay Render tutorial on the different options is nearly synonomous with rendering with HDRI Environmental images.

One thing I did learn recently is that clear water doesn't render clear with many (or maybe all HRDI Environments). For that you need to use the simulated HRDI lighting environment in DAZ Studio Render option called Sun-Sky.
