Lighting Presets
-
Studio - High Dynamic
Studio lighting uses a High Dynamic Range image (HDRi) to mimic lighting similar to a photographer's studio. This lighting solution illuminates the model from several angles. The result is a rendering with even lighting and subtle shadows. Appropriate for any model, this lighting preset is especially advantageous for rendering individual components such as furniture.
