Tutorial - How To Use Hdri Maps in 3D Rendering - Part 2 - HDRI Maps - Download HDRI Background , Backplates & Images

This tutorial part 2 explains how to incorporate a virtual object into the background of HDRI map:

7.The car is seen through the camera perspective.

The direction of sunlight is presented in the marked field.

See Image 7

8. A very important thing to remember: our  ground is a simple geometrical figure that is an ordinary rectangle. It is necessary for generating the shadow cast by the car onto  the ground.

See Image 8 & See Image 9

9. Now switch the previously loaded HDRI background map so that it can be seen in the preview.

See Image 10

10. Remember that the 'the ground fabric' fields are marked as 'Shadow' and 'Matte'.

Now generate the shadow which the car casts onto the ground in a separate channel (image).

See Image 11

11. Render the images; the main picture and the picture of shadow channel.

Here are the resulting images:

See Image 12 & See Image 13

The final outcome after superimposing the images, after the so called 'post-processing'.
