Jungley skydome HDRI
-
Can anyone point me to a jungley HDRI skydome? Lacking that, what are the implications of mashing up a circular sky photo with jungle plants pointing in from all around the circle? I don't need this for the background, but just to get that dappled lighting you experience in the undergrowth of a dense jungle.
I would love to jump on a plane for the Amazon and do the photography myself, but I have had my big trip for the year.

which renderer do you use? many renderers seem to have a difficult time with anything but very subtle shadows/lighting changes from HDRI's. Even those that CAN do sharp shadows, the result has a lot to do with the quality of the HDRI (meaning that it's got LOTS of lighting info). My guess is that if you start with a rendering that handles HDRI's well and a very good quality HDRI, slapping some 8 bit tree overlay's MAY give you some differentiation, however you'd probably be better off using a decent quality HDRI and spreading around some 3d vegitation off camera.

Well, not real jungles...but you can find a lot of HDRI of forests here
(be sure to see all the pages) -
I just threw some images together to make my own private jungle lighting. For a first experiment, I am at least finding my direction. This quick snapshot has only been baking for about an hour. I will probably give it eight just to see how it goes.
Brodie: I am using and misusing Twilight render.
Massimo: Thanks for the pointer to those resources.

This is how the image looks with a little more baking (623/10,000 passes).

A friend mentioned that I forgot to attach the camera strap. so here is what I came up with:
