Anime HDRIs in Blender (In 3 Minutes!!)

[@bottbrothers]

Update: Hi everyone, a few users have highlighted that Skybox labs have changed from a free model to a paid one. I changed the title of this video to avoid making it misleading. Honestly when I used it, the tool was great so some of you may find it interesting to pay for it. Personally I find it ethically unfair to not propose at least a free plan given it's unlikely they paid for all the training data, but this is my opinion.

[@direk2g]

Thanks so much for this excellent tutorial. A great easy to understand explanation of how to make the skydome, and Blockadelabs is just mind-blowing lol. I swear I just made about a years worth of environments in one evening!!

[@bottbrothers]

Glad you liked it. They are improving their tools too so you can even direct the generation of the HDRI with shapes. I guess it will not really replace environment art but it will definitely help.

I got banned fir pointing out illegal/ uninforable tearms in there tos. Blockade labs is trying to say you can't cancel your subscription, they can change there terms on you with 0 notice, oh and that just reading the tos is enough to agree to it 😂. I'll be copying this onto every comment because this is extremely Shady and as a 3d artist a tool should never be a scam.

[@direk2g]

Thanks

[@cameronguy4264]

@direk2g no problem, sorry for the drunen typos. I really hope you didn't give them any personal information or they may try and fine you later, or do anything else Shady

██It's good but very close, you can see the curve. It looks like the fisheye lens that NASA uses all the time as a standard so that it seems like you can see the curvature of the Earth like in the glass of concave airplanes.

Simple Yet Effective. Never even think about Combining Both AI and HDRI.

Yeah it's a pretty nice way to setup an environment quickly

[@bottbrothers]

Update: it appears that Blockade labs made some changes in their app. It is still possible to generate free assets but it now prints a watermark (which you have to pay to remove). I am myself a little disappointed in this change. A suggestion would be to use Photoshop for additional edits to remove the watermark.

[@shaashinYT]

also it's a limited number of generations :(

[@bottbrothers]

Yeah it really sucks 😞. Fortunately I built myself a little library of those. But I would suggest every month to use the credits and clean up in Photoshop the one that standout

[@alvarowarrior5999]

Hey I have a question, it's not the same to set the image to a enviroment texture? why is the dome?

[@bottbrothers]

Hey 👋, it's not quite the same. If you set this texture as your world texture, it will basically be dynamic. Which means if you zoom back or in, the background will not move. Also it doesn't work for the floor projection. In some ways setting it as a world texture is more realistic, but you see how in anime sometimes the background moves really fast, I feel that's easier to manage with the dome. Although there must be some applications where the world environment is better than the dome. My advice is try both and depending on what you are trying to do, pick the option that fits your needs. I should have explained it in the video so thanks for asking 🤜🤛

You need to make sure your lights are inside the sphere. Also disable shadows for the sphere (maybe that will help).

Yeah it seems like they completely changed their models... Whereas it was completely free when I made the video. It's really bumming because I was genuinely excited about their tool.
