Need Help with interior and background

[ccp76]

Hey guys i was wondering if you could help me with a problem im having setting a background for my interior scene, its a interior , at night, has windows, so i want my background to show through the windows, the problem is, how do i set this background, i have heard about skydomes, but to tell you the truth i dont know how to do this, so far i have tried putting the image in the environment map but the render shows something weird, the image reflects on the walls, and the walls have no reflection values, i dont know whats causing this, any help would be apreciated.

 

 

thanks,

 

 

PS : sorry forgot to attach the render

Render image with no background, than save you image as *.tga file, go to photoshop and work with background there.

thank you Rimantas, that did it, however i wanted to ask you this, what happens if you want a window (glass)there, reflecting the interior, how do you do this, i mean, the window(glass) will reflect the interior but woudnt it also be black outside, how do you clean that up, and add a background ? ill be working a solution for that all night, ill see what i can do.

I'm not sure, but I think Photoshop could help.
