PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Have you ever needed to punch in on a cloud background only to find that your typical wide-angle panorama shots lack resolution when you zoom into them?

This collection of telephoto skies and clouds is the fix to that problem. It will not replace your existing collection - but complement it for those projects that need the extra detail in zoom and close-up shots. Perfect for use in arch-viz, VFX and compositing for film and animation.

Differences between the free sample and the full commercial version:

• Free only includes four skies. Commercial includes 50 + 5 bonus skies
• Free is for personal and non-commercial projects only

TECHNICAL SPECS (FREE SAMPLE)

• 8K Resolution: 8.000 x 3200 pixels (2.5:1 aspect)

• Delivered in visually lossless EXR format (DWAB) in Linear sRGB color-space
• JPEG previews are included

QUICK TUTORIAL FOR 3DS MAX + V-RAY

PROCESS

• Shot on a Canon 5D Mark III + 70-200mm f2.8L Mark II at 5500K
• Captured in 14-bit RAW / Processed in 32-bit in every post step
• Stitching and alignment done in PTGui Pro
• Noise reduction using Neat Image Pro
• Removal of buildings, foliage and birds - so many birds! - in Photoshop
• Most images are made up of 7-9 shots at a combined resolution of approx. 14.000 x 5.500 pixels before downscaling to 8K (which I felt was a reasonable sweet-spot before starting to lose important resolution data)
