About this asset

Ticknock 4 is a high-dynamic-range environment map in.hdr format, featuring soft afternoon lighting over a rural hillside landscape. This equirectangular environment map captures a panoramic view of a bracken-covered hillside landscape during the afternoon. The scene is defined by low-contrast, cool daylight and a scattering of clouds across a bright blue sky. Natural features include dense patches of dried, brown bracken, exposed mossy rocks, and distant tree lines. The lighting profile provides soft, ambient illumination suitable for realistic outdoor rendering, ensuring that shadows in the digital scene remain subtle and naturalistic. The composition offers a balanced, open perspective that integrates well with various terrain-based architectural visualisations.

The download is a 6.2 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 use this HDRI, load the file into the environment slot of your preferred 3D rendering engine. Adjust the exposure and rotation to align the light source with your project's primary light direction. Because this map contains high-dynamic-range data, it will provide realistic global illumination and reflections without requiring additional light sources. Ensure your render settings are configured to use the map for both background visibility and lighting contribution to achieve consistent shadows and highlights across your scene.

Ideal for landscape architecture, rural residential projects, and exterior visualisations, this environment map provides a natural backdrop for projects situated in open, hilly terrain. It integrates seamlessly with outdoor scenes requiring soft, overcast-to-clear daylight conditions. Use this asset when staging architectural models that need a realistic, non-urban context, such as woodland retreats, park designs, or countryside estates. It pairs effectively with grass and vegetation proxies to enhance the overall realism of the environment and ground the building within its site context.
