HDRLabs’ sIBL or Smart IBL 4 has seen a recent update to version 4.0.7 which brings large panoramic thumbnails that are generated once when starting up sIBL.
Larges Panoramic Thumbnails are generated once, from the background image ( With fallback on the preview ones ) upon startup
Smart IBL is an open, free and flexible system for using, managing and setting up Image Based Lighting (IBL’s) in a host of 3D applications, and provides an interface for doing so easily.
There are also some smaller changes in sIBL 4.0.7, which include better unicode support, precise per channel color control over the IBL setup in Softimage Templates, and some fixed the issues with the Softimage_Arnold_Standard and Softimage_Arnold_Dome_Light Templates color profiles.
For more information on Smart IBL, check out the HDRLabs site for an overview, download, and some example and free IBL’s and light setups that you can use.
