Render tips: Realistic renders with HDRI backgrounds

We often get questions about making a more realistic render. In this video, we explain how you can do this yourself.


To place an HDRI background in your drawing, do the following:

  • Go to the tab View, and click on Environment.
  • Click on the three horizontal dots next to Skybox to insert your HDRI background.

You can download the HDRI background here: https://hdrihaven.com/ or http://www.hdrlabs.com.

  • If necessary, adjust the Rotation and Opening Angle of the background so that the drawing and the view fit together.
  • To make the drawing even more realistic, you can transfer light from the HDRI background to the drawing via Ambient light. Click on the three dots next to the lighting environment to add the same HDRI background.
  • Adjust the Rotation and Intensity if necessary.
