ImmenstäDter Horn Midday Meadow HDRI Environment Map

This equirectangular HDRI environment map provides natural midday lighting from a partly cloudy hilltop meadow in the countryside. Captured on a hilltop, this environment map features a expansive grassy meadow dotted with scattered pine trees and simple timber fence posts. The lighting is characterized by soft, diffused sunlight filtering through a layer of thin, wispy clouds, creating a natural, medium-contrast illumination suitable for outdoor scenes. The terrain is gently rolling, providing a realistic sense of depth and scale. The 360-degree capture ensures consistent lighting and reflections, maintaining the authentic character of the alpine landscape while providing a versatile, high-dynamic-range backdrop for architectural and landscape visualisation projects.

The download is a 6.5 MB file containing a 2K equirectangular high-dynamic-range environment map, ready to load as dome or world lighting in Blender, 3ds Max, SketchUp renderers, Unreal Engine and D5.

To integrate this environment map, load the.hdr file into the environment or background slot of your rendering engine's world settings. Adjust the rotation to align the sun position with your scene's primary light source. Because the image provides high-dynamic-range data, it will automatically drive global illumination, ambient occlusion, and reflections on materials. Scaling is not typically required, though exposure settings may need adjustment depending on the desired intensity of the sunlight and the brightness of the overall scene.
