LookDev Test HDRIBL Uncalibrated #1

The Four Balls Are There So We Can Sample Direct Diffuse Luminance Values From Them To Test Whether The Lighting Makes The Balls As Bright As Their Texture Color, This Is Key For Calibrating HDRIBLs To Neutral Lighting

LookDev Test HDRIBL Uncalibrated #2

The Two Color Charts Are There To Test The Color Contamination Of The HDRIBLs, The Bottom One Is A Flat Shaded One, Meaning The Lighting Doesn't Effect It, While The Top One Is A Regularly Shaded One.

These Are All Examples Of Uncalibrated HDRIBLs Used For Visualizing Shaders In Real World Environments With Realistic Exposure Values. Having Uncalibrated HDRIBLs Is Important For Testing Your Shaders In Real Lighting.

This Is One Of The Three Types Of Setups I Have In This Rig, It's A Prop LookDev Rig With Lights Set To Aim At A Locator Placed On The Object I'm LookDeving. The Original Rig: https://caveacademy.com/product/prop-look-development-and-lighting-rig/

This Is The Last Types Of LookDev Setup I Have In My Rig. It's A Studio Setup I Adapted From Cave Academy, The Original Can Be Bought On Their Website. It's The Same As The Prop Setup, Except This One Is Larger With More Objects. This All Adds Realism.
