Abstract

The present study created, analyzed, and demonstrated the contribution of High Dynamic Range (HDR) images as an essential resource in setting up product rendering scenes. This technique enabled renderings with a wide range of luminosity and details, providing more realistic and immersive visual results. By employing HDR images, users working with rendering in 3D environments can simulate natural settings, such as sunlight at different times of the day or indoor environments with various lighting sources, thereby creating an engaging atmosphere around the product and making it more appealing to the target audience. The research aimed to demonstrate how HDR images offer greater flexibility during the post-production process, allowing for easy adjustment of exposure, contrast, and colors of the scene, ensuring that the product is presented in the best possible way. In conclusion, it is shown that the use of HDR images in product rendering not only enhances the visual quality of the images but also increases the credibility and aesthetic appeal of the products, making them more attractive to consumers.
