Hey, to create ambient light in my scene, is it possible to light my environment only with custom HDRI that i made with editor sphere? Or do we have to add sky light or directional light with that?
Because i added my editor sphere with enlarging it. I can increase its brightness but nothing in the scene is lit. So am i missing something?
Why are you not using a skylight for that?
Hi,
Maybe you should take a look at the plugin called ‘‘HDRI Backdrop’’ which is a plug-and-play HDRI sphere that you can control for visualization
An image in the background is not enough to light a scene (Can be used if it’s emissive with Lumen, but I would not recommend it)
Also the other way around would be to use your HDRI image in a skylight in addition of your editor sphere. But keep in mind that if you move your Sphere, you’ll need to rotate your HDRI as well.
Hope this help
