That's EXACTLY what I was looking for but, as a noob, didn't know how to express!! Thank you so much!! HDRI environments have always annoyed me for this "floating" reason!!!
Useful Addon. Really makes life easier. What if it's an interior scene and you have to place an object on say coffee table / bookshelf / side table, etc.? Taking it one step further, what if there are 2, 3 such surfaces at different heights? Can I use this addon in some way to take care of two or more surfaces at different heights?
Doesn't work anymore - HDRI haven has been removed in the latest version (now polyhaven and it doesn't seem to recognise HDRI links - only textures) :(
i could not get it to work right, its perfect from above, but at an angle the hdri on the ground distorts. i tride scaling the car up or hdri down, same results. until i use the green groundhdri node and the bottom offset values, scale these down, for me it was -12.780.
I have 2 questions i'd like answers to: 1. How do I import a HDRi that I have on my computer, a file that i have downloaded? 2. I have a car in blender and its in 3 collection folders where some parts are scaled differently...basically its multiple objects that i need to scale to fit the new HDRi! How do i select all the components at once and scale it simultaneously? Thanks for the tutorial btw, i've tried it on smaller objects for a trial and it worked a treat, just need some help with minor details!
he replied this in earlier comments.... usually if you go through comments, someone had the same question as u have! "you can import any hdri from the web and then use the node group that gets added in the world nodes to distort your own hdri! "
You dont need an addon just add a plane, no material nothing. Then check shadow catcher in the Object properties panel. Its super easy, not sure whay the addon is needed? I guess what it allows you to do is change the hight, that is normally not possible. PS what is up with the topology of that Audi car, i noticed the reflections in the door looked are wrangled. Does it have horrible topology or so? normal reflection on a door panel look smooth, these were pinching in the middle?! Same was for the side window, lt looked quite weird
I tried it by just grabbing that data_blend file. I use the addon "Node Presets" so i can add tthem to a template file. Its quite funny how some HDR lokos. All mangled up. But with a bit of work it should like better. It doesnt work ofcourse when tall objects are near in the hdr, they all squashed to the ground hahaha Its better to scale in that node group vs scaling that car, i guess that car was almost 10-12 meter or so
You should look in the camerat tilt shift. That way you can move the camera on Y-axis and keeping verticals vertical. It will also help with getting nicer framing sometimes. Its mostly used in architectual shots. But i think for this should it would work as well
really nice add -on..Is there a way to add HDRI's without using PolyHaven I have a HDRI add on pack I purchased and i want to use HDRI's from this pack instead on PolyHaven How do I do this in LilySurface
Nice tutorial but one thing would make it more realistic, the shadow catcher properties. When you turn off glossy rays it also prevents the shadows cast from being reflected in the object (try it with a chrome cube). What I do is copy the entire node setup from the world to a ground plane, swap the background node for a principled BSDF so it receives light, change the texture coordinate output to reflection and set the mapping Z axis to minus 1, set the plane to shadow catcher and you should now have shadows on the ground that are also visible in the car as the shadow catcher is now identical to the ground from the HDR. You can even add a little shininess to the principled BSDF and have reflections of the object in the ground. Works for me but Im sure someone more knowledgable can find a better way of doing this.
Oh man this is so easy and fast, thank you, insta subbed. I was struggling with the hard method of making a sphere and projecting the inside of the sphere and then flattening the bottom and the entire scene looked warped ..etc a complete headache. Thank you
Great tutorial but when I make a plane it not showing any Shadow of car. And newer version of blender not showing all option in object tab. What should I do to get the shadow. ( Mentioning that I have no light and I deleted light at first from the scene)
One other little thing Ive just noticed is that I thought it odd you had to scale the car up as it shouldn't need scaling in a normal HDR, but it is because this plugin scales the world by 20x which means you have to scale the models 20x to make them 'fit' the scene. I set the scaling to 1 and it works fine.

Awesome video thank you for the link to a useful tool + a great explanation. Small English pronunciation thing: generally "A" a vowel followed by a consonant then E right after you use long vowel sound A pronounced like its name A as in pay or day so scraper ( a thing that scrapes the surface or takes from a surface). SCRAP in English means to make into garbage/jettison or abandon as useless. Scrapper would be a thing that makes something into scrap and I don't think you intend that use here. Please do no take this correction as a slight or criticism. I once lived in a foreign country where I had to learn the language. I ALWAYS wished people would just correct my pronunciations rather than shyly be amused by my accent without explaining why they were amused. Love your vids.
I can't install this add-on (error when I tried to enable it). Other people have reported the same problem, since last summer, but doesn't look like it is getting fixed any time soon.
Pls help. My ground projection is brocken. Or mabye the horizon. Its like pinched and the cars around mine are thin like paper sheet. What to do? Help. In this video u can see it too but not so much like mine
just now was trying to figure it out the shadow catcher and a way to make the world look more "real", now i i can! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
Wow. That works really well. I was having so much difficulty matching a plane to the HDRI image - even for a snow scene. This takes care of it instantly.
I'm on 2.9 and mine says "Import Surface" and my available sources are "ambient CG, cgbookcase.com, TextureHaven, 3dassets.one" and these all bring me to texture assets rather than HDRIs. I tried copying an HDRI from HDRIhaven but I received a python error. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
to anyone with this problem: I was under "material properties" which has a world icon but there's another world icon with a slash through it and that is "world properties" where you will find the option to add in the HDRI
That's EXACTLY what I was looking for but, as a noob, didn't know how to express!! Thank you so much!! HDRI environments have always annoyed me for this "floating" reason!!!
Great to hear!

is there any way to reduce the stretching in the background
you could try to improve the result by playing with the different values in the node group
So there Was a free version
yes:)

Thanks for the tips, but it's not working for me I cannot import HDRI, if I do that manually ground projection is not working. Any solution
Nice tutorial, thank you. Does this add on create a dome in fact ?
It doesn’t add geometry. It is all done by transforming the coordinates of the HDRi, but I haven’t really checked how it works in detail yet:)
