Light a 3D scene from an HDR environment.

Use an HDR environment to light an editable Tesseract scene. Rotate the lighting, adjust its intensity and choose a separate visible background with your agent.

A generated HDR studio environment rotates around reflective and diffuse surfaces.

Rendered in Tesseract with path tracing at 32 samples per pixel. Download the editable project to revise the scene.

Give your agent this .tsrct file, then ask for a specific change.

Try it in your agent.

Use this prompt as a starting point. Review the result, then ask for the details you want to change.

A prompt to start from

Use the supplied HDR environment to light a Tesseract product scene. Rotate it until the object has a clear highlight and readable shadow detail. Keep the visible background a plain neutral color. Show preview frames at three environment rotations, then use the strongest option for a slow turntable. Keep the model and camera unchanged.

Keep control of the result.

Environment rotation
Move the brightest parts of the environment around the subject.
Lighting intensity
Adjust the environment’s contribution without replacing its source image.
Separate backgrounds
Choose the image seen by the camera independently of the lighting source.
Alternative environments
Use supported procedural sun and sky controls or an animated layer source when appropriate.

A few useful details.

Does the HDRI have to appear behind the object?

No. The environment used for lighting and the visible background can be different, with independently adjustable orientation.

Can I animate the environment?

Yes. Supported world controls can be animated, and a supported 2D layer can supply changing environment content.

Does HDRI lighting make every export HDR?

No. HDR lighting input and HDR delivery are separate choices. Select and verify the output format explicitly; do not infer multilayer EXR export from environment support.

How do I try this with my agent?

Install or update Tesseract in a supported agent, attach your source files, and copy the prompt. Review the preview, then ask for the changes you want. The composition stays editable as you refine it.

Where does the video render?

Tesseract renders in the environment where your agent runs it, including supported local computers and hosted Linux environments. The engine is free; your agent’s subscription or usage costs are separate.

Read the prompt

Set up Tesseract by Mirage so you can create editable designs and 3D scenes, edit videos, and make motion graphics in this agent’s environment. Read https://github.com/mirage-hq/Tesseract and check the requirements for this local or hosted environment. If it is supported, follow the official plugin or skills installation guide, use its required runtime version, verify the download checksum, and confirm a short preview renders correctly. Then ask what I want to make and which brand references or source assets I have. Keep the editable project and source assets with the finished render.
