SNOWbase and SPRINGbase are collections of High-Res texture maps in HDR-format. Low-res blurred versions of the images are included to allow users to lighten scenes with faster rendering speed and smoother sampling distribution.

(continued...)

While SNOWbase is a collection of winterly snow-locations, You will find more summerly locations which fresh growing vegetation on the SPRINGbase.
The SNOWbase as well as the SPRINGbase have HDRview V 1.0 (WIN) enclosed, a viewing application for HighDynamicRange-Imagery.

HDRview (development PixelLight) uses a highquality Realtime-engine for realistic presentation of the perspective behavior concerning full spherical Panoramas.

Techspecs:
SNOWbase
- 40 different sets (*.hdr + *.tif)
winterly landscapes, snow-situations
- resolution of 4000x2000 pixels
- color, mono + blurry version of each set (->120 HDRIs)
- all HDRIs are full spherical panorama images
- easy-to-use database interface
- HDR + LDR version enclosed
- HDRIview V1.0 (WIN) enclosed

SPRINGbase
- 40 different sets (*.hdr + *.tif)
winterly landscapes, snow-situations
- resolution of 4000x2000 pixels
- color, mono + blurry version of each set (->120 HDRIs)
- all HDRIs are full spherical panorama images
- easy-to-use database interface
- HDR + LDR version enclosed
- HDRIview V1.0 (WIN) enclosed

Each of the 40 HDR-images is enclosed in 3 different HDR- and 2 different LDR-variations.
The highres versions (4000x2000 in color and b/w) are well suited for most job-situations where a reflection-environment is needed.
Using the enclosed blurred versions (200x100 in color and b/w) of the panoramas, the artist is able to lighten scenes (in most cases) with faster rendering speed/smoother sampling distribution. Using such a combination of LowRes and HighRes HDR-images the artist receives freedom of choice while keeping speed and quality concerning the output.
