In all of the reading I've done in the past few days on using sIBL file sets for lighting and backgrounds in scenes, sIBL-GUI seems like a cool approach.
Unfortunately I can't seem to get the results I'm seeing in the tutorials.
My 1 -2 minute render time prior to running the script in my exterior render is now 40+ minutes and the outcome is horrible. A very dark scene with a black and grey blurr as a background. (Not to mention Max crashes every 15 minutes)
I have no idea where to even start tweaking and there is really no support to be found anywhere. Why my render time is so ridiculous all of the sudden is a mystery to me. I'm using the LWF render settings in Vray 3.0.
If anyone can point me in the direction of some good tutorials/methods for applying hdri lighting and/or getting sIBL-GUI to work properly I would be very appreciative.
