A long-term project is coming to life: converting the DreamCatcherHDRI library into dynamic 3D flight environments.
Here is a first example, with the conversion of HDRI map #743. We are moving beyond simple backgrounds—the aircraft now physically interacts with its surroundings: true parallax effect, volumetric cloud penetration, and dynamic lighting synched with the aircraft's position.
A major step toward total photorealism for high-end simulation and aeronautical visualization.
More to come... Enjoy!
