FREE HDR images from Bob Groothuis

Bob Groothuis is the man behind HDRI photography series Dutch Skies, which have been used in various films, videos and games, including Assassins Creed 3 and Infinity Blade 3.

For the Creative Bloq advent giveaway, Groothuis has generously created a set of exclusive images, which you can download for FREE. The package includes four High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Smart Image-Based Lighting (sIBL) sets, which include 11k HDRs and extra background plates. These images contain more lighting information than a standard photograph and, once wrapped around your scene, allow you too use the lighting captured in the photo to light your objects in a realistic manner.

The sets can be used and imported in a wide variety of 3D applications, including Lightwave, Cinema4D, Modo, 3dsMax, Maya and Blender. For more information, visit the HDRLabs website.

Groothuis has a busy year ahead, with 2014 seeing the release of Dutch Skies, volume five, and the addition of a new product line called Dutch Skies 360° XL - with HDR skies up to the size of 19k.
