Not only are there three complete HDRIs for not just Studio but also setup for Bryce and Carrara, but also PDF instructions for setting them up in each program for those that don't know how they work.
I'm seriously impressed. Thank you so much for going to this much effort.

That's really great. Big Thank You, Horo, and Happy Holidays!
Yes, kudos!
Yes, I'm excited to try these out in all of the programs. Thanks, Horo!!!
Wow Horo! Thank you so much! So much appreciated!
Many thanks Horo, these are very useful and much appreciated. Wishing you a very happy Christmas holiday time and New Year.
Yeah, thanks dude! Happy Holidays. I can't wait for my new NVIDIA card.
Very generous!
Thank you for your thoughtful gift!
Thank you Horo. Truely excellent.
Very nice gift Horo. Thank you.
(Please make sure width is set to no wider than 800. You can set target as new window for original size to be seen.)
First, thanks Horo for this gift! The HDRI's looks great.
I like HDRI's because they make things simple, but these however give me a hard time and become severely distorted. I've gone through the documention but cannot find anything on what I'm doing wrong.
This is what I get when rendering the indoor HDR, loaded without any changes.
Are you using DS, Bryce or Carrara?
Oh, sorry, I should of course have mentioned that. DAZ 4.8 Iray
@isidorn: taking a look but my top of the head guess is "finite vs infinite dome"
My favorite freebie this year, totally awesome.
It stand to reason that I would be the last one to argue with you on that.
I know the way to your heart is through Bryce support.
I have no problem with that, neither ion finite nor infinite mode.
And I agree with Fisty - Awesome freebee!
Did you load it on the environment block under render settings tab?
Thanks for the help with troubleshooting! I tried again and to my surprise it looked just as it should, both infinite sphere and finite. But changing "Dome Mode" to either of the "sphere w /ground" it distorts again. Is that so for anyone else?
Those modes are only for images of that type.
Ah, that explains it. My newbiness shines through again. Now if you don't mind another newbie question, how do you know if a HDRI are made for ground or not? (other than discovering when using it that it can't be used with ground)
I don't think you know unless the file or info states it, ot my looking at it.
Ah, ok. That explains even more. Thanks again for all the help and of course more thanks to Horo for making these and giving them away! :)
Thanks Horo - great gift! much appreciated
I can't believe it. I'm so vain that I looked everywhere for kudos and missed this thread completely until Kismet2012 pointed me to it. Now I have two massive wooden blocks around my head held by a heavy clamp so my inflated head won't burst.
Seriously, you are more than welcome. I'm very glad to get the feedback that the stuff is of some use to you.
Biggest understatement of 2015.
