SKYPAX - Colorado is a set of 7 HDR Panoramas captured on a late Summer day in Southern Colorado.
At the heart of Unity 5's new render engine is the ability to natively use HDR (32 bit floating point) images as Skyboxes. Only with the use of these HDR images can you take full advantage of the Physics Based Shaders, Real-Time Global Illumination and HDR Reflection Probes. Until now, there has been limited resources for images suitable for game environments - Introducing the Schmedia SKYPAX - Colorado!
Schmedia SKYPAX was created by industry veteran, Terry Schmidbauer. These images were created with a passion for incredible light and the intent to breathe life into every project.
These Skyboxes were hand crafted with the first hand knowledge from creating and leading AAA titles. From this firsthand knowledge comes a thorough understanding of the needs of today's game artist.
