Above : Cropped view of Spheron generated HDR. This is a tone-mapped HDR 'preview'

 

Actual image is 55 Megapixels in resolution. That resolution will be essential if image is being used as backplate (back ground) for the render.

 

The above image will therefore have two uses inside any 'image based lighting' rendering application:

 

1. Provide the actual lighting for the scene - as each 'pixel' will essentially be a light source

2. Provide the enironmental reflections - that are picked up by our CGI asset (in this case, the car)

Above : Rear 3/4 view - Additional geometry added to catch floor shadows and reflections in Key Shot. Other than that, no post-production (ie this is the render, direct from Keyshot)

Above : Front 3/4 

Above : Alternative front 3/4 - Bit more dramatic with strong highlight (from open hangar door).
