Skies

Skies in Toolbag are 360° high-dynamic-range panoramic images that produce image-based lighting for your scene. This technique can generate a detailed real-world lighting environment from your chosen image. The Library offers hundreds of Skies set at different times of day, both interior and exterior, rural and urban. Rapidly switch through different skies to find the right look and feel for your rendered scene.
