Here’s a quick and somewhat un-edited video I just put together on frame blending time-lapse HDRI with After Effects. Frame mixed issues with IBL Probably the only thing I didn’t really touch on in this video is the effect of frame-mixed HDRI frames on IBL, which is in a word, not good 🙂 …

What are clamped or un-clamped HDRIs? I’ve been writing about this a lot lately as I think HDRIs in general are often used only for ambient lighting, when in fact if shot correctly, they can be used in a much simpler (and more realistic), 1-step lighting workflow. Originally I made …

In case you missed it the other week, free HDRI time-lapse samples were made available to download by signing up here. Since releasing these day length samples, I’ve decided that they probably weren’t the best choice, as the super fast cloud motion means there is some fairly intense flickering visible …
