Free HDRi 360 from 3D World

3dWorld is hosting an “advent calendar” this year, giving away something special every day from now til Christmas.  Today’s offering is a good one, a free HDRI set from the folks behind the popular Dutch Skies package.

The set includes an 8K spherical background, a 4K spherical HDR for reflections, a spherical lightmap and a reference document to link everything together using the popular sIBL system. You also get a sequence of 11K exposures for post-production work.

The set works with any 3D package capable of reading HDR files, including 3ds Max, Maya, Softimage, LightWave 3D and modo.

Go get it now before they change their mind!
