Hello
Im trying to achieve effect like on this screenshot - woods outside the interior.
Attaching also HDR map. How can improve it?
Any advices would be appreciated, thanks
You can try making the hdri a finite sphere and play with the size and location but it seems to me that the intensity is to high. If you want to make it similar to the picture you have some options, the easiest one is to place trees outside, chaos cosmos has a huge library of trees, you can also download an image with trees make a cylinder or a section of it, apply the image to it and place it in a way it can be seen from the angle of your camera, and the last option I can think of is using an image manipulation software to add those trees in postproduction.
Out of those options, the cylinder is the one that will consume less hardware resources.
HDRI are mainly intended for lighting- whilst you can use them for a background, they often look a bit weird as the scale/perspective may not be right.
In this case I would actually simply places actual chaos cosmos trees outside of the window - they will add some more depth as well as be able to cast shadows
