"Controlling the lighting levels and positioning the lights is easy and incremental testing is fast. Illumination is smoother and faster than using large area lights which helps a lot when rendering at super large resolutions. You can create a lighting scheme from scratch that precisely meets your project requirements. Added to that the fact that you can add image based real lights for more realistic reflections makes this a powerful tool for studio lighting."

and using HDR Light Studio™.

"We have used HDR Light Studio™ from its first release. Focusing mostly on single product renders, we were pleasantly surprised by the flexibility the software offered to achieve lighting and reflections with a great amount of control and accuracy. Being able to almost ‘pin’ reflections right where you want them without too much fuss is a real time saver."

"On the Pepsi "Throwback" spot we did for Chiat/Day, HDR Light Studio™ proved an invaluable tool in our bag of tricks. The ability to design our lighting environment, tweak it to no end, and quickly see the results on our renders made a big difference in our workflow and creative freedom. Now with version 1.5's capacity for using photographic-sourced HDR's, the possibilities are literally endless."

Aladino Debert, Creative Director, RADIUM

"The Carshop project was a 30 second commercial featuring lots of brightly colored cars dancing in a vast starlit open arena to the William Tell overture accompanied by fireworks and conducted by the brand's cartoon character logo. RealtimeUK used HDR Light Studio™ to simulate a huge area of studio style lighting without the time and rendering overhead of manually placing and tweaking light objects in the 3d scenes. We were able to customize the lighting in HDR Light Studios™ simple interface, save it and test render in Vray, it was a very quick and effective workflow."

"I have used HDR Light Studio™ since its first launch. For lighting 3D product shots it’s really awesome! The HDRI files created are ultra clean and noise free used with my renderer. With HDR Light Studio™ I can tweak the lighting mood very quickly. I set up a lighting rig and the background then test render, all in a fraction of the time it used to take before. Now I no longer hunt for hours on the net to find and buy a good HDR lighting image - I make my own with the right ambience!"

Jacques Delobel, JD Creation

"I came across HDR Light Studio™ whilst searching the net for a useful HDRI image for lighting a 3D scene. The application is extremely easy to use and the results are absolutely convincing. Especially the flexibility to move lights around in real time to achieve the desired results is a perfect time saver. Therefore as a user from it's first launch I am really pleased with the new features coming in version 1.5"
