How to add a custom outro in D5?

Key words: Sky and Weather

You can add an exterior scene in D5 in the following way:

Use HDRI/EXR

Internal HDRI

The D5 render has a number of different HDR panoramic environment maps built in for different atmospheres.

Note: The "Pure White" HDRI background will be adjusted to grey by auto exposure when the auto exposure option is turned on. If you want a "Pure White" background, you will need to control the exposure manually.

Customize HDRI

Click "+Customize HDR" in the drop-down menu to load hdr files (currently hdr and exr formats are supported).

Note: Currently D5 also supports loading low dynamic range jpg files. LDR images can also provide a background reflective environment and some lighting, just not as realistic as HDR.

Custom imported HDR files are saved by default to the "customhdr" folder in the D5 Render installation path. Click on the folder icon to quickly access this path and manage your custom HDR files:

You can switch between "Defult" and "Custom" categories in the drop-down menu.

Parameter adjustment

  1. Light

Overall control of the brightness of the HDRI image, which affects the lighting of the scene.

Note: If Auto Exposure is turned on, it will always compensate for changes in overall brightness, making the adjustment of this parameter less effective:

  • Skylight: Adjusts the effects of light and material diffuse reflections individually. Does not affect material reflections.

  • Background: Adjust the brightness and darkness of the background individually. Affect the material reflection.

  1. Rotate

Rotates the HDRI sky environment map horizontally, this affects the content of the background, the material reflection environment, and the sun's azimuth.

  1. Sky Temperature and Sky Color adjustment option

Sky Temperature: Affects the colour tendency of the sky lighting, which will affect the diffuse lighting effect, not the background image or reflections. The default value is 6500K, the lower the temperature, the more yellowish the diffuse reflection, the higher the temperature, the more bluish the diffuse reflection.

Sky Color: Supports Hue and Saturation adjustments.

  • Hue: The default value does not affect the original hue. Adjust parameters to change the degree of hue shift.

  • Saturation: The intensity or purity of colors, with the parameter ranging from -100 (grey) to 100 (fully saturated).

Adjustments to Temperature and Sky Color only work on Skylight (i.e., sky light color) by default. Supports setting the 'Area of Effect' to 'Background Only' or 'All'.

Note:

  1. Right click to reset the parameters after adjusting Temperature/Sky Color.

  2. The white color has no Hue, so a white HDRI is not affected by the Hue parameter.

  1. Flip

Supports flipping of imported HDRI images
