How to Use Our RAY.HDRi Maps in Unreal Engine and 3dsMax

Our RAY HDR technology, built into our RAY.HDRi Maps and backplates, is a powerful tool for creating perfectly lit renders in a variety of DCC (Digital Content Creation) applications.
To demonstrate how 3D designers can make the most of our proprietary, industry-leading technology, we collaborated with industry veteran David Baylis.
In two new videos recently released on our YouTube channel, David explains how to use our RAY.HDRi Maps in Unreal Engine and 3dsMax
In his first video , David walks through the process of using a backplate and RAY.HDRi Map combo in 3dsMax with the Corona Renderer. You'll learn how to set up a backplate, apply shadow catcher materials, and match reflections with the environment. 
Following David’s lead, you’ll end up with perfectly accurate shadows and reflections in your 3dsMax renders, quickly and efficiently.
Additionally, in his second video , David demonstrates how to configure ray tracing, adjust post-processing settings, and render scenes using either Lumen or Path Tracer in Unreal Engine. 
In both DCCs, our RAY HDR technology simplifies the process of creating accurate lighting, eliminating the need for manual calibration or adding directional lights.
David is an excellent instructor, and he makes it easy to grasp the full potential and versatility of our technology.
