No sky in Iray rendered Image, just Black and very dark scene

bibby

Hi, I have a problem with rendering images in Iray. everytime when I try to render this scene, the sky is black and all lights are much much darker.

Anyone have a helping advice for me? Btw, there is no window glass or something else. As you may see, there is a veeeeeeeeeery dark sky in the black version of the scene.

Thanks

The sky in the preview is a modelled dome (or other shape enclosing the scene). It is blocking all, or at least most, of the light and so giving a dark render. For Iray the ideal is not to use a "physical" dome but to have just the environment HDR set in the Render Setings pane; that said, you can apply the Iray Uber Shader Emissive preset to the dome (select both the model and its surface) though that will still be slow compared to the HDR render.
