Using the Library Panel

You can use the Library panel to display and select all the HDRIs, 3D shapes, and backplates delivered as presets. This panel also lets you have access to your own collections.

  1. The first time you run the command, the panel opens directly. After that:
    • When the panel is pinned, the Display Library Panel command directly opens the panel.
    • When the panel is not pinned, the Display Library Panel command displays on the right side of your session window. Move your mouse over to display the docking area and the Library panel.
  2. Whatever the option you are defining, use the slider at the bottom to enlarge or reduce the size of the thumbnails displayed in the panel.
  3. In the list on top of the panel, click Maps 360 to activate a new 360° HDR image.

  8. Drag the image of your choice to the work area, or double-click it.
  9. In the Import Related Dome dialog box that opens, indicate if you want to activate the 360° HDR image corresponding to the selected backplate.
  10. In the list on top of the panel, click 3D Shapes to insert a predefined 3D shape, and simulate the changes made to the current ambience.
