Smart IBL GUI3 had an official release recently. Smart IBL puts optimized IBL setups on a single button again. On top of that, it represents a unified way of organizing your HDR collection into ready-made lighting solutions.
“Smart IBL is not a shader or render algorithm, it’s just an idea. It was designed as an open system, completely transparent to artists and developers – ?exible enough to power an entire company pipeline, and portable enough to work in every 3d application. And most importantly, it’s completely free.”
Find out more and see how it works on the Smart IBL site.
