# Overview

HDR Vault is the work of Philip Modin. They are in the public domain and have been pre-converted by Leo Frison.

## How-to

This resource is designed to work with RenderMan's [Preset Browser](https://rmanwiki.pixar.com/display/RFM22/Preset+Browser+in+Maya).

Drag the contents of the folder into your **Asset Library > EnvironmentMaps** folder. The files are organized by category and can be easily searched in your preset browser.

> ℹ️ Make sure to transfer the installation **[RenderManAssetLibrary](https://rmanwiki.pixar.com/display/RFM22/Preset+Browser+in+Maya)** folder to a location with full writing privileges.

Once you transfer the Materials folder and move your Asset Library into a different location, it is important to tell Maya through the preferences that you want to use the new path.

Or you can create a new environment variable in your Maya.env file, which will make sure you are always pointing to the right folder:

`RMAN_ASSET_LIBRARY = /My/Folder/Example/RenderManAssetLibrary`
