Greg Zaal creator of HDRIHAVEN.COM has announced the launch of a new site..
https://3dmodelhaven.com will feature free 3d content all made available under a Creative commons Zero license CC0, which means the models can be used by anybody, in any way, commercially or otherwise.
The site will be funded through Patreon.com and has been awarded a $10,000 start up grant
"Epic Games has given us $10k to work on the initial content for 3D Model Haven. This will cover a few months of full time work on the site and the models, as well as allow us to acquire models from other artists to diversify the content and make it worth your attention at launch."

Well, it's here :-)
With a slick new interface, super fast Eevee renderer, a greatly enhanced grease Pencil + more tools and gizmos than you can poke a stick at ...Blender 2.80 has finally arrived!
This is a set of Daz Studio light presets using the "Secluded Beach" HDRI and backplates from hdrihaven.com. For each background image I have set the environment rotation and camera angle so that the light/shadows roughly match. Use the camera zoom in/out up/down/left/right to position your subject. Use the f/stop setting in render settings>Tone Mapping to adjust the exposure. As these mostly side or back lit, it might be worth adding a fill-in light or turn on the camera headlamp set to a low intensity.
I saved them as Scene files so you will have to load them before anything else is to be added. This is so that background image, render settings and camera all load together...so remember to save-as a different file name when your scene is complete ;-)
