Creating a HDRI

Ying_Yang_Cow

I was wondering is it possible to use a detailed studio scene with lights ECT.

Then render it out for use as a HDRI

I want to use a lower rez figure for Distant shots then a high rez for close in shots using just the HDRI so the lighting looks the same, if that can be done? Thanks in advance

Yes, in fact there is a product which has the camera set up and render settings needed but you can also do several beauty passes with Canvasses, which save as .exr, and use those to build an HDR dome.

I've never done it myself, but there are instructions here: https://blog.daz3d.com/creating-and-working-with-your-own-hdris-in-the-studio-breakdown
