Description

This tool was written for internal use at Moso Studio, with the purpose of streamlining the process of working with HDR files.
QES will allow you to streamline your lighting  process and many additional things very quick like:

  • Locate the sun to match azimuth and elevation depending on Time and world location (similar to a Daylight system but within the script)
  • Save scene states to quickly store lighting setups and reload them at any time. 
  • Quick access to your specific HDR libraries (you can set up your local file locations)  
  • A search of keywords like (sunny, cloudy etc, or a specified by user) 
  • Use Corona/Vray Sky instead of HDR when prefered  
  • Add a quick floor plane for rendering assets quickly 
  •  Design to work with Vray and Corona

what a fantastic tool - this is awesome!

Theres only 1 thing missing that would make it absolutely perfect - that would be for the script to automatically align the sun to the HDRI - i know sini does it and also a couple of scripts out there (i think they are for vray).
Any chance you could impliment that? that would be super awesome!
wow.

Hi, Thanks for feedback. The script assumes your hdri image has the sun in the center.. and if that's the case it will align the sun to it.... I need to look into how to fix if hdri doesn't have the sun on the center.... Can't promise I will be able to do it..

Ohh I see, it scans for the brightest part of the image.. I should be able to do something similar... May add a few more stuff... For now I'll keep it free, but thanks for the positive feedback.

Useful script thx for sharing it.
I got some points :
- What the deffiernce between (Quick Selects) and (favorites) .
- Why adding 12 Directories when you can use dropdownlist to switch between all Directories in the (Master HDRI Directory).
- Search Option do the search in all drivers I think it's better if it search in Master Folder only.

- there is error message when pressing (Corona/Vray Sky) 2 times.
BEST REGARDS.

Hi, glad you like it.
There isn't much difference between them.. quick selects are faster as is one click and you can name it whatever you wish... Favorites I rarely use.. may be removing it for next iteration.

So the 12 directories are for direct access to specific libraries... If you have too many hdri all together in the dynamic search may be hard to find a specific one... I only have 6 or 7 directories added...

Search option is only on master folder yes.

Thanks for pointing the issue, will get to it as soon as I can.

Thanks again for feedback

NO

thx , am just saying that removing the (QHDR SETUP) Menu for Directories with Keeping The (Selecting Master Directory)Part with adding Dropdown list for its sub folders would be fine coz usually All HDRi Folders Gathered in one Master Folder , and the favorite Part is enough for Putting Favorite HDRIs , its just a suggestion ofc .

makco · 2020-02-26

Got it, yes I see your point, but in our case, our HDRI libraries are buried among a lot of stuff so a direct pointer to each good library directory helps us... I see you write scripts too (likely a lot better than me), so feel free to add or edit it to fit your workflow!

Thanks for the feedback!

:)

Thx , actually am newbie , definitely you  better ;)

am working on HDRi-Library Script with Previews for HDR files , am thinking of mixing it with yours :) .

makco · 2020-02-26

That would be amazing! that was what i wanted to do next, to create a tool that creates thumbnails of your HDRI so you can have a preview before hand; if you are working on that let me know maybe i can integrate part of what you have already done.
