HDRI + Sun Two-Light Setup

Instant believable lighting with control.

The Workflow

1. World Properties → Color > Environment Texture → load an HDRI.
2. Add a Sun light for direction and drama.
3. Set Sun angle/strength until you get clean shadows.
4. Rotate the HDRI (Z rotation) to place highlights where you want them.
5. (Optional) Add a large Area Light as gentle fill.

The Usage

HDRI gives realism fast; the Sun gives you art direction. Great for product shots, environments, and portfolio renders.
