HDRI environment world with a solid camera backdrop
In your harnessBlender toolMIT
Build an image-based lighting world from an equirectangular image with rotation, strength and saturation, and optionally show the camera a solid colour while the image still lights the scene and fills reflections. Use it for product shots, look development and outdoor lighting.
What it takes and gives
- Operator
- baltor.world_hdri_environment
- Parameters
- image_path, rotation, strength, saturation, backdrop, backdrop_color
- Result
- A world named Baltor HDRI with the image loaded, set as the scene world.
- Blender

- Axes
- Blender Z up, -Y forward

Limits. Needs an image file; the demo fixture writes a small 8-bit PNG sky, which lights only roughly because it holds no high dynamic range. No ground projection, sun extraction or importance map tuning. The solid backdrop uses the Light Path node, which Cycles honours fully and EEVEE only partly. Rendered here with Cycles CPU only. Verified in Blender 5.2.1; written for the 4.2 API.
