I always find Rhino to handle the HDRI lighting as a low range light dome. Is there a bug there? As I can never seem to reproduce the HDRI lighting in any HDRI lights out there on the market.
This relates to both Raytraced and Rendered, so it must be at the core some where.
Take a look at this example image from HDRIHaven compared to how Rhino handles the same light. (That is not a sunny morning there in Rhino… it’s pretty dull and overcast if you ask me):
@nathanletwory do you know anything about what causes this?

HDRI Image can be found here. I tried both the 8K and the 2K and no difference there.
