Procedural Studio HDRi
Can I use the result outside Blender?
Yes — bake, then save as EXR. The file is a standard equirectangular 32-bit HDR image that works in any renderer or DCC that accepts environment maps.
Is the baked image saved with my .blend file?
The image datablock is kept in the file (it has a fake user), but like all generated images its pixels live in memory until you pack the image or save it to disk. For anything you care about, use Save Image As… to write an EXR.
Does it touch my existing World?
No. The add-on creates and manages its own tagged World and switches the scene to it. Your previous World stays in the file (Blender keeps unused data until you save, unless it has a fake user) — switch back to it anytime in the World properties.
Why are there two ZIP files?
Blender 4.2 introduced the new Extensions format, which older versions cannot install; and the old add-on format is deprecated in 4.2+. One ZIP per format covers all three supported LTS releases (3.6, 4.2, 4.5) with identical features.
