DAZ Studio 117 - Global Illumination, Environment Lighting, IBL and HDRI explained

In this episode I'll tell you much of what I know about the Environment Lighting in DAZ Studio. This technique is also known as Global Illumination. I'll explain the meanings of such cryptic abbreviations as IBL and HDRI, and how all these pieces fall together to make your scenes look handsome. This is a continuation of the previous episode about Mesh Lights.
