Kloppenheim 3 Grassy Field HDRI Environment Map

Kloppenheim 3 is a 2K equirectangular HDRI environment map featuring a midday, partly cloudy sky over an open, rocky grassy field. This HDRI environment map captures an expansive, open landscape characterized by wild, low-lying grass and scattered, weathered stones. The lighting conditions represent a bright midday, with the sun partially obscured by thin, high-altitude clouds, resulting in soft, natural ambient illumination with subtle, diffused directional shadows. The topography is relatively flat, extending toward a distant, subtle horizon line, which provides a neutral and versatile backdrop for architectural exterior visualisations. The equirectangular projection ensures seamless 360-degree coverage, allowing for consistent reflections and balanced global illumination across a wide range of virtual project scenes.

The download is a 6 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 parameter to align the sun position with your model's desired lighting angle. Because this file provides high dynamic range data, it will automatically drive realistic reflections and light bounces on your materials. For optimal results, ensure your scene’s exposure settings are calibrated to match the intensity of the captured daylight, typically requiring minor adjustments to the white balance.
