Kloofendal 43d Clear (Pure Sky)

Kloofendal 43d Clear is a cloudless sky captured at full resolution, the sun sharp and the blue graduated from horizon to zenith. It casts confident, well-defined shadows and a bright key, giving renders the snap that comes from strong midday light. Used for image-based lighting it handles reflections, ambient tint and directional sun together, so chrome and glass read the open sky while diffuse surfaces sit in clean daylight. The panorama comes at up to 2K in .hdr and works in Blender, Unreal, Unity, Cinema 4D, 3ds Max and Maya. Turn to it for hero product shots and exterior scenes that want bright, unambiguous sun.
