Easy HDRI Creation with just a Phone!

HDRI's are an awesome tool to quickly add realistic lighting and reflections to your scene. In this tutorial Nik demonstrates a simple technique to capture 360 degree images with the Google Street View app and goes through three different techniques on how to deal with the lack of dynamic range.

If you took a 360° of the outdoors on a clear day, your image would be blue because thats the main color. If you used a 360° HDRi that was taken with high dynamic range, the sun would actually know because blender can read that it has brighter pixel values that the blue. (though we can't see it on SDR screens). This addon just adds a sun lamp to make it as if blender could read the sun in our SDR 360° So technically, no it isnt a HDRi, its SDRi

The app has been removed from both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Users will still be able to publish their photo spheres using Street View Studio on desktop or mobile, but they will now need a dedicated 360 camera to capture the footage. Google's recommended 360 cameras include the GoPro Max, Labpano Pilot Era, Ricoh Theta X, and the Insta360 camera range. Users can also publish their photo spheres to Google Maps. Unfortunately, there's no way to capture 360-degree footage with a smartphone anymore. There are plenty of third-party 360 photo apps on the App Store, but most of these convert existing panorama photos into a photosphere instead of letting users create one from scratch.

    all HDR images are not Equirectangular and all Equirectangular images are not HDR. Equirectangular = One type of panoramic image (can be HDR or regular JPG or PNG) HDRi = High Dynamic Range image (and doesn't mean it must be panoramic)
