Real HDR 1.7 introduces a new way to place lights in PhotoBooth module: the Satellite System. This new mode entirely substitutes the old Click&Go and provides a newer way to adjust lights position. The 3d mesh preview parser has been optimized and in the options window there is a new link to the upcoming Real PBR. The SkyLight module now has a volumetric fog toggle and a overall improvement. We also added a drag&drop listener to open the RHD files and this will massively speed up your workflow.

Minor update with few issue solved in the installer, animation keyframe and cloud density.

HDR Sky is a tool, based on Real HDR SkyLight Module, for creating high quality and high-resolution outdoor HDR skies, both static and animated, and exporting them as EXR format for your arch-viz 3D productions.

Real HDR 1.6 provides updates in both PhotoBooth and SkyLight modules with a new animator to produce HDRI skies with timelapse animations and a new cubemap exporter tool. There are also some UX improvements both for the users options and the program state. As always there are various minor bug fixes and updates in the core of the program.
Real HDR 1.6 required many efforts to provide these new toolsets and we are looking forward to your feedbacks. We wish this update can speed up even more your CGI productions, both offline and realtime, when using HDR images to emit lights.

Real HDR 1.5 completes the main set of features designed for the software. The major feature is the possibility to generate HDR gradients, HDR sun emitter, HDR atmosphere and HDR clouds for skies to be used in exterior renderings. Version 1.5 has now two ways to generate clouds: a fast and simple mode that works on every computer and a voxel-based cloud generator, that guarantees extraordinary results on computers with performant graphics cards. This new release introduces also a new GPU function to smooth SpriteLights, generate smooth gradients and blend the voxel clouds.
There are other improvements in other various aspects of the software from .RHD parser functionalities, smart background processing, an experimental 8K exporter (that requires a huge amount of VRAM), indirect light approximation in 3D preview mode and so on. As always, we wish you a bright rendering experience with Real HDR and we look forward to your precious feedback.

Real HDR 1.4 introduces a new rendering mode and a massive overall optimization on various aspects of PhotoBooth module. New features are focused on the usability (.RHD file validator and new keyboard shortcuts), customization (new Options menu, support for Retina/HiDPI display), consistency (Click&Go and the 3D Preview), and user requests (Export+, Kelvin temperature, etc).
This new update represents a huge step forward for Real HDR’s core and the PhotoBooth module.

This third update opens new possibilities for future developments, introducing modules. Modules are specific sections of the software, created to keep the workflow focused on a specific task. Starting from version 1.3, the Real HDR you used before will take the name of PhotoBooth module (designed for product rendering), while the new module for architecture and exteriors is the SkyLight module. We are sure that this new approach in the development of Real HDR will open new horizons for both development and usability.

This second update is focused on an even better usability and precision. Added new user-requested features such as color selector, new SpriteLight soft blending mode, keyboard shortcuts and feedback prompts.

First update focused on an improvement of usability and precision. Added polar/equirectangular distortion for correct representation in the spherical map, proprietary project file format, OS browsing paths, among other user-requested features.

This is the first public release of Real HDR.
