Hi All,
I am trying to use VRayHDRI for the first time. I am using 3ds Max 2014 and Vray 2.40.04.
I have watched various you tube tutorials as well as forum posts eg:
In all cases, according to the instructions, in order to use VRayHDRI you are supposed to take the following steps:
Select VRay as your renderer Add a VRay dome light to your scene Open the material editor Select a new material slot Click on the "get material" button Select "VRayHDRI" from the V-Ray materials list
That is as far as I can go unfortunately since VRayHDRI does not appear in my list of materials.
Below is a screen capture of the VRay Materials menu from the first You Tube Video above:
I can clearly see the VRayHDRI material, which the tutorial tells you to select. The only problem is when I got to the exact same menu via the exact same method I get the following menu (I have highlighted my V-Ray materials menu in yellow):
Note that there is no VRayHDRI.
I can not find any example on any forum of anyone having this problem so I am at a loss. Do I have to activate some functionality in V-Ray before the VRayHDRI material will show up?
When I look at the documentation for my installed version of VRay I can quite clearly see that it should have the VRayHDRI material:
But I just can't find it. Can anyone remember back to when they first installed VRay. Was there anything you had to do to get HDRI working?
I am at my wits end and of course have a project due for which I was hoping to use HDRI in VRay
Thanks heaps in advance for your help!
