Dosch HDRI: Underwater is a valuable and uniquie source of HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) environments of underwater scenes.

The 20 high-quality HDR images of various underwater places are provided in the most widely used formats:
– Light-Probe (Angular Map)
– Spherical Map (Latitude-Longitude)
– Vertical-Cross

Radiosity – and therefore the use of HDRIs is directly supported in many 3D-applications like Lightwave (version 6.0 and higher), Softimage|XSI, Maya & Mentalray, Pixar RenderMan, Bryce 6, Autodesk VIZ, messiah:render (Arnold), InSight (Integra), 3ds-max & VRay, 3ds-max & Brazil r/s (Splutterfish), 3ds-max & finalRender (Cebas), Cinema4D Version 8.1 and more. For further HDRI-rendering tools options the documentation of the used 3D-program should be consulted.

The HDR images are provided in the following formats:
– Light-Probe – 4096?4096, 2048?2048, 512?512 pixel
– Spherical Map – 10,000 x 5,000, 6248?3124, 2048?1024 pixel
– Vertical-Cross – 4686 x 6248 pixel
– Horizontal-Cross – 6248 x 4686 pixel

And each HDR image is provided in the industry standard .HDR. So they are useable in most rendering applications.
