HDR Light Studio 2.0 review

Version 2.0 is a major update to HDR Light Studio studio but let's start with the first on, for me most useful one - LIVE LIGHT. The process of creating hdri maps in the last version was very fast but to see the end effect you needed to render the hdr maps and import them to your 3d software. So in practice it took some time to place the lights where you really needed them, but now we have LiveLight - in few words you can now import obj and Mi files into the HDR Light Studio, so setting up the proper lighting is done in no time. Like you see on the video below, it works even with very complex obj files and the real time renderer is using all the available cores.
HDRI backgrounds - now you can not only create you own hdr maps from scratch but also enhance existing hdr maps.
HDR studio lights database - you have more than enough lights to create stunning lighting effects. With the version 2.0 you get over 100 lights in 18 light types. You can find them all under the link below: https://www.hdrlightstudio.com/hdri_light_packs.htm
The producer of Hdr studio is also providing plug ins for 3d software which allows you HDRI lighting and reflections update in real-time directly onto your 3D model and materials in your 3D software. For now there is only one plug in available for Deep Exploration 6 software but all future CORE plug-ins will be provided to existing Pro version 2.0 customers when they are released.

Selecting the right software for 3D modeling can significantly impact both workflow and results. With tools like SketchUp, Blender, and 3ds Max dominating the market, many artists and designers face the same question: which one should I use? Let’s break down the practical aspects.
A realistic and visually consistent kitchen scene can elevate your entire 3D interior project. When using highly detailed assets that fit seamlessly into professional visualizations, you save time and achieve better results. Our curated 3D models provide exactly that, helping you craft top-tier kitchen designs with ease.
Understanding how people perceive a 3D scene is about more than just lighting, textures, and structure. The placement, posture, and purpose of human models significantly shape emotional tone and realism. That’s where the difference between dynamic and static models becomes critical.
Creating sport spaces in 3D is all about getting the layout right. With our models, it’s easy to build areas for training, storage, and activity. Try mixing categories to make your scenes more complete and functional. Explore our sports, gym, and locker collections to get started now.
Creating a realistic and complete kitchen scene in 3D visualization means combining the right pieces, balancing functionality with aesthetics, and choosing assets that offer professional detail. A well-designed virtual kitchen starts with organized planning—and curated 3D models make the process faster, smoother, and more precise.
Realistic bathrooms help make home visualizations feel complete. Using 3D models saves time and enhances the accuracy of your scenes. Build better projects faster with quality assets that fit your workflow. Want your residential work to look real? Start with the right bathroom elements.
I've been lusting after this program for a while now...(well back to when 1.5 was just being released) But $1,000 for the Pro version or something like that? VRay costs that much, Maxwell...other full render engines. Even some fully fledged 3D programs can be had for that price!
I have Octane, which will be ~$250 for the final release...I think that's where it should be priced around. It's great, but not $1,000 great.
