I’m proud to announce Skies of Economy!  ....

Looks amazing!! Well done!

Sadly my trip to Yosemite is in question right now due to some personal things that have come up.  Funding I had set aside will likely have to go towards the move as I’ve found myself an apartment!  Mostly it depends on how much I can bring in before the area is covered in snow, I still really want to go and will if I’m able.  Getting myself a place to live has to come first though, or I can’t make sets in the future lol!  Please remember though that I have a full set from Monterey Bay in California ready to put together!

Congratulations with your apartment and of course RL comes first! Good luck with the move.

Love, Jeanne

Thanks to everyone for the kind words!  The set was just released so you’re now able to grab it from the store and get your render on!

Are these going to be purchasable seperately, I’m really not interested in the Poser or Carrara sets.
I love your lights but can’t really afford that sort of price.
Thanks.

I agree. If they were all seperate then surely the price would come down and would be more affordable. No need for versions I will never use. I really want this though….will probably buy it regardless:)

Just purchased.
I have DS, Reality, Poser and Carrara, so the price is good deal for me.
Thanks for release.

Wishlisted. I have Poser, Carrara and DS and the price is good for me too…. but my wallet says no for now. So it’s on my wishlist for the time being.

Love, Jeanne

Do the skies extend below the horizon? I can’t tell from the promos.

This is just F’ing Awesome! And my birthday is a few days away.

Are these just the skies or do they have vegatation in the pictures? If they are just the skies that is far more attractive to me than if it has trees and such as well.

I have to agree about the separate packs.  I have Poser 7 and Carrara 8, but neither are installed on this relatively new laptop, so I’m only interested in the DS version for now, and I don’t have (nor interested in owning) Reality, so even if I finally get around to installing Poser and Carrara, that will still be a total waste to me.

This price is good for a “bundle”, but I’d be more interested in the separate packs so I could purchase them as needed.

My pricing models don’t charge more for supporting additional programs unless it is a special case.  Both Skies of Reality sets were initially for Reality only but I rolled in Carrara and DS support as an update free of charge.  Skies of Terra came out including those three as well as Poser for the same price.  HDR ProSets will be handled the same way when things are finalized there.  I price my work on the underlying content like the maps included here.

Some info to show what you’re getting…

Skies of Terra - 6 presets at $12.95 = $2.15 per HDRI (Skies of Reality is the same and this is at non-sale price)
Skies of Economy - 30 presets at $29.95 = $.99 per HDRI (non-sale price)

If you are just using these for a single program you are getting them for less than $1 per HDRI preset at full price, $0.66 during the intro sale.  Those who have the other programs will get more out of this set for sure, but it’s no different than how I’ve handled things in the past (other than having all apps supported at launch rather than updated).
