Combine a super high-resolution panorama image as a camera background, with a high-resolution HDR as a specular component for reflection mapping and a blurred low-res HDR as diffuse environment lighting. Then place them together with a description file and you have a Smart Image Based Lighting Set.
Between now and Tuesday 4 May, you can download a free sampler of sIBL sets. The sampler includes eight sIBL sets from four vendors: LunarStudio/HDR Source, Bob Groothuis, HDR-VFX and HDR Labs. The sets come from the sIBL Archive, a collection managed by HDR Labs. Visit the sIBL Archive for more information and to download more sIBL sets.
[UPDATE, Wednesday 5 May] The sampler is no longer available, but you can still visit the sIBL Archive for further HDR downloads.

The HDRlabs website states that they were on the March issue, but this isn't the case. Please help , as I really need that night time city HDR.
