under Preset the option of Business Park 
Daytime indicates the image content (a photo 
of a business park) and the lighting type 
(daytime).
Preset

Moofe
Moofe is a company that specializes in HDRI images (
www.moofe.com
). Shaderlight purchased 
the rights from Moofe to include some of these images in the IRP. The Moofe options are 
excellent alternatives to Physical Sky lighting (Fig. 28.6). Using the Custom options, you can 
sample additional HDRI images from Moofe and insert them into Shaderlight.
As mentioned, the image name indicates the photo content and lighting type. The HDRI 
images available under Moofe include:

Custom to access a browse option to select and insert the image.
