Vray hdri rotation

[Fortinbras79]

I am literally banging my head on the desk trying to figure out how to rotate my HDRI environment maps. I have the map applied to a VRAY dome light for illumination as well as having it in the environment slot of MAX (I'm working in 3ds Max by the way.)

 

The MAP's horiz. rotation slider is greyed out. I've tried wire rotation of the light and nothing seems to be working. I have also tried screwing with the U offset...nothing.

 

I just need the damn scene rotated 180 degrees...this should not be hard

 

Thank you

hm,

i'm still in office and here i'm still using 1.5 in which there is no problem whatsoever to rotate it anyway you need.

when i reach home where i installed 2.0 i will try to see what seems to be problem.

in the meanwhile you can try doing a bypass, like this: in the material menu, under coordinates section there is rotate button in lower left portion of the menu. it will open rotation wheel you can use to manually set the map the way you need it. it's not ideal but it should work.

hey dude,

i took a closer look at pics you posted and i think i know what the problem is. under coordinates menu you ought to use texture/explicit map channel, not environment mapping option. hope it helps.
