HDRI Images

vonHobo

I think that HDRI Images are really handy to complete a scene. But I have a lot of them and they are all named differently.

It's hard to tell which HDRI to load into DAZ Studio if you can't see an image (thumbnail) of it, only the file name, which is not very helpful to know which one to select from my folder.

Is there any way to see thumbnails of the HDRI files when you load a different one into the Render Enviroment setting within DAZ Studio?

Or for that matter, is there any Windows program to display HDRIs? They don't seem to be recongnized by File Explorer as thumbnails like regular JPG or PNG files.

Why not try Adobe Bridge? It's been completely free for years and available separately from the rest of the suite.

Tagging this to remind me to look when I get home. I found a free program that went through and created "thumbnail" images of my HDRIs. I just can't recall what it was. Will update if I can find it again. :)

There is a free program "Sage Thumbs" which adds the ability to view hdri thumbnails in windows explorer. https://sourceforge.net/projects/sagethumbs/
