Can I render HDRI with Bryce?

I'm hoping to do some new skies for DS using Bryce. Is this possible? I do use Adobe CC, so I assume I can combine multiple exposures in there. Is there someone who can direct me where to find a tutorial?

    You'd get more help with this if you posted on the Bryce forum - maybe a Moderator could move it for you?

    I remember questions on this before - I'm a very novice Bryce user so don't have the skills myself but here are a couple of posts that might help:

    Horo is probably your man: he creates products including (photographic) HDRIs but has also made some in Bryce itself.

    Thanks so much! I had posted here because my end result will be Daz Studio. Again, many thanks!

    jarretttowe - as MelanieL said, I'm your man but I hardly visit the commons but regularly the Bryce forum. Bryce has exceedingly advanced IBL (image based light) options. It accepts HDRI in the angular map and the spherical projection.

    Thanks Horo. I was hoping to be able to output the beautiful bryce skies into something daz studio could use. I will keep looking!

    Oh, you can export a sky with and without an HDRI as spherical HDRI from the Bryce Sky Lab.

    That's exactly what I was wondering! Thank you! Now I will have to muddle with how to set it up but this is a big encouragement. Next up will be making my own with my GH4/rokinon 7.5mm.

    This Iray render uses an HDRI sky I made in Bryce.

    jarretttowe - I wish you luck. If you run into issues, meet me at the Bryce forum or send me an email (address on top of my website). I have a couple of videos and PDF documents. After all, I made over 300 HDRI panoramas meanwhile and had a lot of opportunities to make mistakes. No need to repeat them.

    Fishtales - looking good. IBL/HDRI is a bit different to use in Studio than Bryce. I've analysed 20 HDRI that come with TerraDome3 (and the extension). They do work with Bryce but there are some differences, like there are when using HDRI panoramas optimised for Bryce in Studio (Iray or 3DL). Those differences, however, can be overcome in most cases.

    And Horo won't brag about his 'spherical mapper' and 'scene-converter' products that help make rendering such 'surrounds' a treat.

    He always helps with questions (about his tools and anything else) over in the Bryce forum.

    As his videos indicate and and I believe there's another youtube or forum walk-through out there that covers bryce-based multi-exposure HDRI, but I think re-working a single properly saved bryce render with some HDR-savvy range re-scaling tools might be enough.

    cheers, and let us know what you come up with!
