Vray Environment issues

[tommyjj]

Hello guys,

I've been having some problems using reflection environments in Vray. To be truthful, i've never managed to pull it off properly.

I've added various textures, mostly HDRI and jpg environments into the 'reflection/environment' box under the Vray rendering menu.

If i turn on the 'override max's' envorioment option (the only way to make environments work?) and render, the reflection result is all blocky and distorted.

with environment (this happens with any image file i use)

without environment

looks like you might need to set the map to be an environmental and spherical mapping in the material editor... then instance the map into the vray override environment slot

AH!

I'm an idiot! thanks very much. :-)
