HDR PASS is the base image in the attachment it is made with New
Pass>>Image Based Lighting, add uses an HDR image, you can find an hdri
map on the net... You must Enable Final gathering in the render
options/region opts.
Many may start their "beauty" pass with a conventional ray trace pass
with lights and traced shadows...
Then add the HDR pass = Image based lighting pass with an HDRI
environment map.
Then add AO.

Hello Manny, I see your example, but how do you setup a HDR pass can
you even ? Or in those examples do you have a HDR image as a
enviroment then just render it out, then create a AO pass?
