HDRI in max

[Tommy L]

In max 7 is there any way of using HDRI based lighting with the scanline? Its ages since ive used scanline and ive never used radiosity for externals. Im writing a lighting tutorial but it does not cover light tracer, vray, MR just scanline.

Your help is much appreciated.

Tom.

Not that I'm aware of.

I think that the only way to use it in scanline is to set an HDRI map in the environment slot so that it gets reflected in scene objects with reflection. Or place it directly in a material reflection slot. To use HDRI lightning though, you have to place the map in a skylight and render with lightracer.
