Ultra IRAY HDRI With DOF - Old Stones Pack

Watched the video and still have some questions. New to the HDRI thing and I understand some are domes and some are not, so....

1) Are these actual 3-D sets with structures or the kind of environment, where I load it up as a skydome and the background is an HDRI image, one big one and one low-rez for the light mapping...

Did I ask that right? Do I get PLACE or is this only artwork to be blurred behind my character on a small plane of ground?

 

2) Can I load these HDRIs as the light maps, but NOT render the dome and still get this lighting and bloom and DOF effects on the characters and the rest of the physical set?

Like, is this  a good purchase just for better outdoor lighting? Wild question, I know.

 

I'm basically trying to find out if this is the kind of purchase that adds more to my overall runtime beyond this one product.

    From what I gathered, I say you get dome environments you load into your environment map.

    #1: They're just environment maps-- big images that paste onto your dome.

    #2: yes, you can Turn Dome Off and still get the light data.

    #3: Check out the Mec4d thread and pick up some of her freebies to give the whole idea a try?
