Hi guys,

recently i finished my new spherical HDR panorama website where you can find more then 50 [HDRI Skies](https://cgees.com) with a resolution of up to 24K Px´s in 32 Bit .HDR format, free of charge, for private and commercial work, without the need of registration and without annoying e-mail spam.

I tested the **HDRI Skies** inside **Blender** , Marmoset Toolbag and Unreal Engine 4.  
Inside Unreal Engine 4 i used and tested the HDRI Skies in the “advanced lighting map.”

By using larger exposure brackets, lights are unclipped and shadows show details.  
To catch the full, dynamic range of the respective scene, one HDR panorama is made out of 91 single images, every HDR bracket contains 7 exposure levels, with a exposure value spacing of 2 or more.

Go grab your favourite **HDRI Sky** and render your worlds!

Hey Guys,

if you don´t have noticed yet, i´m finally back in HDR panorama photography.  
And now you can download even more **[HDRI Skies](https://cgees.com)** for your 3D Scenes.

If you need “real” ambient light for your Levels or 3D renders, then head over to the [HDRI Gallery](https://cgees.com/hdris) and download your favourite **HDRI Sky** with a resolution of up to 16K for free.  
Just make sure to be logged in to your Google Account, because all HDRI Skies are stored on the Google Drive.

Happy rendering,  
Elvis from [CGEES.COM](http://cgees.com) 🙂

Hey everyone,  
Some of you might still remember **[iHDRI.com](http://ihdri.com/)** — my old website that offered free CC0 HDRI maps for Blender and other 3D tools.  
Unfortunately, the domain was **hacked and completely taken over** a while back, so it’s no longer under my control and no official HDRIs are distributed through it anymore.

👉 The **good** news:  
Everything is now rebuilt, better and more secure on [CGEES.COM](https://cgees.com)

✅ Free, hand-crafted **HDRI maps up to 24K**  
✅ CC0 license (completely free to use)  
✅ Brand-new design, faster downloads & like/download counters  
✅ Blog with tips and insights on HDRI photography  
✅ Hosted on Cloudflare → **fast & secure**

If you still have any old iHDRI links in your projects or bookmarks:  
👉 Please switch over to [CGEES.COM](https://cgees.com)— this is now the **official and only** place to get my HDRIs. ✨

Cheers,
