Above the Clouds loc00184-23 is an unclipped aerial HDRI from the HDRI Hub Above the Clouds series, captured above the cloud layer with the sun fully preserved in the highlights. Use it as the World environment in Blender for airplane, drone, helicopter and satellite shots, for product renders with a clean sky, or as a bright daylight source for architecture.
What you get:
- Equirectangular panorama as EXR (unclipped high dynamic range)
- 4096 x 2048 px base version
- 8192 x 4096 px variant for close-ups and camera moves
Blender: Shader Editor, World tab, add an Environment Texture node with the EXR and plug it into Background. Because the sun is unclipped, the HDRI alone gives correct sunlight, shadows and reflections without an extra lamp.
