upshot Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm mostly interested in doing some HDR skydomes (since I enjoy capturing them as well). I have no idea how to use them as the exclusive lighting with mental ray? Anyone know how to do this? I tried using mr Physical Sky and adding the HDR to the background map but it doesn't seem to be actually lighting the scene... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pthomas1172 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 You have to put it in the SKY LIGHT..light..gizmo thingy there is a slot where you drop it in then, drag it into MAT editor if you have to adjust the brightness through the RGB level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upshot Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 ah I see.. so I assume I should use my low res IBL in the 'sky light' and my high res reflection map in the environment map slot... I also assume I should be turning GI on as well? I think I'm starting to get this... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
