Calibrated HDRi Maps

The Most Realistic Renders

We capture real-world locations with multiple bracketed exposures, combining them into an extremely high-resolution, high-bit depth RAY.HDRi Map.

Our Maps are available with 32 stops of dynamic range, capturing more lighting data than is present in even the brightest real-world scenes.

The result is a file that captures every piece of lighting data in the scene, from the darkest shadows to the brightest sun-illuminated areas, ensuring brilliant renders with realistic reflections, lighting, and shadows.

Dramatically Accelerate Your Team's 3D Rendering Workflow

Load our RAY.HDRi Maps into your DCC of choice, spend one to two minutes configuring your white balance settings and end up with a perfectly color-accurate, beautifully lit scene for your 3D renders.

50x Time Saving

In many cases, our RAY HDR format cuts setup time from several hours to just a few minutes—a 50x or more time savings.

Focus on Creativity, Not Setup

Save your creative team from the drudge work of manually configuring colors, while improving accuracy and consistency across platforms.

Elevate Your Virtual Productions

Consistently Beautiful Campaigns

Our high-resolution RAY.HDRi maps empower you to develop entire campaigns with a unified aesthetic—all from a single map.

The exceptional resolution allows for both close-up shots and wide-angle scenes without any loss of quality, providing flexibility in your creative choices.

Eliminate weather, permitting and health risks, while still creating materials with the consistent look and feel of a campaign shot on-location.

Achieve a uniform visual style that reinforces brand identity across all platforms and media and turns prospects into buyers.

Case Study

All the images for this VW campaign were shot within a single CGI.Backgrounds virtual environment.

Across tight shots, wide shots, vehicle interiors and even shots featuring models, using the same virtual environment led to a consistent look and feel, without the need to shoot on-location.
