About

HDRI Studio

Light your 3D scenes with the real light of any place. HDRI Studio turns your iPhone into a 360° HDRI camera: follow the dots and get a 32-bit EXR for Blender, Unreal Engine, Nuke and more. No 360 camera, chrome ball or tripod. HOW IT WORKS • Follow 18 dots, or 26 in tight spaces • Hold still on each dot and the app shoots a RAW exposure bracket • Add one ground photo to help remove your feet from the floor • Render online, then save the .exr to Files WHAT YOU GET • 32-bit float OpenEXR, scene-linear Rec.709, relative brightness • Exact 2:1 equirectangular 360° panorama • 4K (4096 × 2048), or 8K (8192 × 4096) where available • Real lighting and reflections for 3D, VFX, archviz and product renders CHECK YOUR RESULT • Look around in the 360° viewer with touch or gyro, and pinch to zoom • Change the preview exposure from −4 to +6 EV without touching the file • Read the size, peak and mean brightness, and contrast in EV • Open compatible .exr files from Files and review every shot in the gallery • Render a saved capture again at another available resolution • Keep finished EXRs in your private iCloud Drive with iCloud Library WORKS WITH Blender, Unreal Engine, Nuke, Houdini, Cinema 4D, Maya and other tools that read OpenEXR. Use your captures in personal and commercial projects. PRICING No account needed. Capturing, your Library and viewing are free, and two render credits are included. More renders use one-time credits or Pro. 4K uses 1 credit and 8K uses 4. Pro gives 20 render credits every month and exports the complete original RAW bracket set plus capture metadata. Failed or cancelled renders return their credits. GOOD TO KNOW • Needs iOS 17 or later and an iPhone with a RAW-capable ultra-wide camera • Rendering needs an internet connection • Captures and downloaded EXRs stay on your iPhone until you delete them • With iCloud Library on, finished EXRs also go to your private iCloud Drive. RAW brackets stay on your iPhone • Hosted results are kept privately for up to 30 days so interrupted downloads can resume Privacy Policy: https://hdristudio.app/privacy Terms of Use: https://hdristudio.app/terms Apple Standard EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
