Combine a super high-resolution panorama image as a camera background, with a high-resolution HDR as a specular component for reflection mapping and a blurred low-res HDR as diffuse environment lighting. Then place them together with a description file and you have a Smart Image Based Lighting Set.
Between now and Tuesday 4 May, you can download a free sampler of sIBL sets. The sampler includes eight sIBL sets from four vendors: LunarStudio/HDR Source, Bob Groothuis, HDR-VFX and HDR Labs. The sets come from the sIBL Archive, a collection managed by HDR Labs. Visit the sIBL Archive for more information and to download more sIBL sets.
