Maxwell Render | Official public forum

Hi all

I´m working with HDR Light Studio Pro.
If i use IBL for the environment in most of the cases i have to set the intensity value in the IBL menue for the HDR-file up to 10 or sometimes 50 to get bright and normal lighten pictures.

Is that correct ? Do you act in the same way ?

Getting the appropriate exposure settings of your Maxwell camera will generally be the more correct way to handle this (although setting the intensity of the HDR can serve much the same purpose in a pinch).

Bear in mind most Studio type HDRs would qualify as interior shots and should have a EV of between 5-12 (depending on the content of the HDR)... whereas Maxwell default camera EV is 14.966(which is suitable only for outdoor shots with direct sunlight).

Best,
Jason.
