3dsmax viewport Environment lighting

[markus_s_cg]

Hi,

3dsmax 2021 has the ability to display HDRI Environment lighting and reflections in the viewport, however, it doesn't seem to work with V-ray dome lights, not yet at least. Does anyone know if this is in the pipeline? Wouldn't it be able to share the same code almost?

We have a similar request logged (internal bug-tracker id: VMAX-8644), so I'll add yours to it as well. We may consider adding such functionality.

+1 Would be wonderful, actually expected this to be in Vray 5

Any news on this? I haven't updated from Next to Vray 5 yet, but I might in the future, so I don't know if it's already implemented.
Since 3dsmax 2021 seems to focus a lot on Viewport improvements, probably as a response to Blenders EEVEE, it would be nice if some of those improvements get translated to V-ray lights and materials as well.

Not quite yet. I'll see if we can raise its priority.
