HDR 360 Panos 2016 Olympics Venue Collection This is a Collection of twenty 7k HDR panoramic images that can be used in any 3D package for Image Based Lighting. These were all shot in Rio de Janeiro around 2015 at three venues that will be featured in the 2016 Summer Olympics. There are 8 panos from Maria Lenk Aquatic center which is where all swimming and diving events will take place. There are 9 panos from the Joao Havelange Olympic Stadium or Engenho where football and track events will be. Lastly there are 3 panos from the Rio Olympic Arena or HSBC arena for gymnastics.
These are 32-bit floating point 360 degree HDR panoramic equirectangular image of an high noon sun partially covered by clouds in Engenho de Dentro, Rio de Janeiro Brazil. The full range of light in this scene is contained in the HDR image and will be strong enough to illuminate your 3D scene and cast shadows. I shot this 9 level exposure wedge, with a range from 1/15 sec to 1/4000 in step size of 1 EVs. That gives a range of over 12 EVs of light in this one exterior pano. Stop down the image in Nuke and check with the eyedropper to see top sun pixel values in the high 50s even behind the clouds. To see a full rez version and fly around the scene close up please search Tojek_VFX on 360cities website.
For 10 of the panos the tripod is painted out cleanly, and all 20 of them are white balanced for perfect lighting. Also included are 183 RAW 3k background plate photographs that can be used for compositing with CG elements as well as reference when building 3D. In the sample images I have put some example renders from Maya, Vred, Arnold, and Mental Ray. -Full resolution 7000x3500 .hdr 360 Panorama 32-bit
