Backgrounds/HDRI's for VRAY

Rendering V-Ray
1

VRAY comes with only one HDRI file. The new courseware doesn’t even use an HDRI in the beginning lessons. For product modeling, or jewelry, what do most people use for the background; a gradient, solid color, bitmap?

I’m used to seeing various studios environments as part of a rendering library, but that is not the case with VRAY.

I’ve bought HDRIs from a few places over the years, one of the best sources is https://hdrihaven.com/hdris/ , which is free. You can of course use the HDRs that come with Rhino in anything else.
