Cloud 9 renders scene black?

Hi,

I had a quick search and couldn't see this question/problem. I took advantage of the sale and picked up Cloud 9 for Daz studio and followed the video and dropped in the Cloud 9 preset scene and rendered but it's just black! I know there are no other lights in the scene but Cloud 9 is meant to provide the back drop and matching lights. Anyone got experiance of Cloud 9 who could point me in the right direction as to what might be wrong? It does world for Daz 4.9 doesn't it? If not any idea how I can bring in HDR domes into Daz 4.9? Thanks!

Cloud Nine is a 3Delight product, if you are rendering with iray the lights will not work and the dome will block out the default lighting. You can use its HDR maps with the environment light in Iray (Render Settings>Environment group).

Thanks very much! I seem to have a 3delight render option so the scene renders with that and I'll look into the Environment group too!
