HDR Installs

Oldminer

I had Install Manager download and install a HDR package in Carrara 8.5, I can't find the HDRs. The install path is the same one I used for other content which appear just fine in the browser. Where should I look for the HDR photos?

Most likely under Presets > Textures > "Folder name of the artist"
If it is a Carrara product, I would look for instructions in the ReadMe file. They probably have a folder to add to your Misc tab for loading them and their settings.

Here's an example from Dimension Theory's "Skies of Terra" ReadMe notes:

Creator Notes

You can find new icons for loading this product in the following Carrara Folders:
Presets : Backgrounds : DimensionTheory : SkiesOfTerra
Presets : Textures : DimensionTheory : SkiesOfTerra
Scenes : Lights : DimensionTheory : SkiesOfTerra

You can go into install manager. Click on the Installed Tab. Find the HDRs in the list. Click on the little right facing arrow to the right on the uninstall button and select show installed files. This will show you where they were installed. In windows, if you click on the one of the locations, it will open the folder in windows explorer.

Another method is to use a general purpose search engine and start at C:\ on PC and search for *.hdr

You may find more that you did not know you have already.

I use *everything* prog; free and fast for any search, integrated as a right mouse click on any folder lever

I usually put the hdr files in a folder outside of Carrara so I can use the files for other things. Then add them via the Scene.background.hdri.

And adjust GI>Skylight via render room

See my link example.
