I mostly use hdri's to light my scene using the iray camera from deviantart.
What are your favorite hdri's?
If I had to choose then it would be this one https://www.daz3d.com/pro-studio-hdr-lighting-system
DimensionTheory has some nice ones too.
What are yours? :3

I have 196 from HDRI Haven, 26 skydomes by agent unawares, light sets from Fabiana, freebies by Second Circle, etc.
free = good. Anything that costs zero is good for me.
...my favourite as they work in both Iray and 3DL and I usually need only skies rather than ground surroundings.

I'm really liking Greg's stuff. He's been uploading new HDRIs weekly for a while now, offers them for free, and offers 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, and 16 K sizes for each of them... I finally noticed the thread in Freebies, and am hooked...
There's somewhere around 60+ different HDRI's in the collection currently.

If you like using 'real' background images, it's definitely worth checking out.
196 now, absolutely amazing collection. https://hdrihaven.com/hdris/category/?c=all&o=popular
Thanks!
My favorite HDRI is from sIBL Archives and is called HS Gold Room. HS Cave Room is a close second.

there is one I use a lot called Maui d. It has a nice shade of blue which compliments one of my characters. I also like the prehistoric set.
