what is a splat? what it for?

Mistara

if i try to convert to a vertex obj, it has no geometry

"A Splat primitive is a billboard plane that always faces the camera, and is most often used to display textures that have alpha channels. For example, you can use a Splat primitive, and apply a rendered tree for a texture, using an alpha channel to remove the solid background color. Repeat the Splat object several times and you can have a forest without the geometry overhead."  I don't use this much, but I do use billboard trees that I bought, gives a nice background and hides the horizon line.

thanks.  

couldn't put a hdri image on it.  the milkyway hdr not gicing much light to the scene.
the curve woulda been good for a deathstar attack

oh gahhh, that horizon line.  i tried to lower it -10000.00 in but is still rendering. 

rendering some terrains bg

That looks exactly like a naked Vicky in a temple with a sword.

- or maybe it is a rorschach test.

there no way to render a hdr image on a plain or a prop?

can bryce do it?

Chohole

You set HDRI up in the lighting lab

Mistara

i want the image

Stezza

if you have Affinity photo then you can load a HDRI into it and then save out in another format like jpg 

Mistara

thanks.

is the colors in the hdr supposed to bleed into the render?

mebbe its a dud.

i vaguely remember AoA found a way to line up a scene with the 'the sun' in an hdr

That was Dimention Theory. He lines up the sun of a IBL map. I believe he might even have some products that use that (?)
