HDR Image Pack on TurboSquid
Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 8:14PM Someone was asking me about good HDRI's for Vray lights the other day so I thought I'd repost this one... http://www.turbosquid.com/HDR Studio Lights
I love using Vray lights for soft shadows and reflections, but often they look very artifical and fake. Adding and HDR image to your area light make your stuff look so much more natural.
Here's a reflection in a car with a simple white Vray light plane.

It's nice, but the light gives a perfect square of light. No hot spots, and perfectly clean edges. Now take a look at some examples of using HDR images of some studio lights.

The great part is that they are HDR, so you can turn them up and down to adjust the hot spots and intensity. I published my top 6 favorite HDR images for use on Vray lights up on Turbosquid. ($10)
I use these images on every project I work on. I captured a bunch of stage lights and use them on Vray lights to get much more realistic reflections and lighting on my CG.
