This tutorial show you how to use HDRIs in 3ds max by using Vray or Brazil r/s. Things you will need for this tutorial. 3D Studio Max 4.xx or above Vray or Brazil r/s HDRI files from one of the Dosch Design HDRI collections the scene files delivered with this tutorial About HDRI There are two types of images. Low Dynamic Range Image(LDRI) and High Dynamic Range Image(HDRI). The first one comprises “normal” bitmaps [like JPEG, TIFF, BMP…], bitmaps which have 8 bits per pixel, with values between 0-255 [in RGB mode]. Which means that there are only 256 levels of luminosity, which doesn’t cover by far the range that can be captured by a real camera, with different levels of exposure.
