hdri background

[gwasner]

Dear V-Ray Forum,
I really like to know how to use a HDRI File for a background.
I try many thinks, read some tutorials and actually looks easy, but I just get a totally black picture.

Maybe some one knows the proper way or shows me the link to a useful tutorial.

I use Max 2010 and Vray 1.5 SP3

Thanks for help
George

Use the VRayHDRI map in the material editor.
Load in your HDR and drag it into the Environment slot.
Depending on the type of map i is you may have to change the map type to suit.
