HDR MAPS

sheedee3D

Hi folks;

I have a bunch of questions about DazStudio IRAY...i will start with my first one:

I installed the HDR PRO sets Yosemite...and i want to render with IRAY...but i dont know what settings to input in the environment mode...

-Dome and scene
-Dome only
-Sun sky only
-Scene only

And what about the Dome mode:

-Infinite sphere
-Infinite sphere with ground
-Finite sphere
-Finite sphere with ground

And the rest of the settings?...

Thx for your time.

Ideally you want to load the map in Environment Map in Render Settings, rather than using the actual in-scene dome. Then you set the mode to Dome Only (just the map lighting the scene) or Dome and Scene (the map plus any lights or emitters in the scene).
