Hdr dome lighting horizon

[KiboOst]

Hi,

We use Vraylight dome with hdr map inside for lighting, but are very often annoyed back the fact that the hdr map is then in middle of the frame, causing black bottom inside reflections and such. Is there a way to lower the horizon of the dome so we can adjust this ?

[vlado]

Is the HDR map a full dome? If yes, why don't you make the dome light fully spherical?

Best regards,
Vlado

Fully spherical does work in RT but not in production renderer, doesn't change anything.

[vlado]

That would be odd (they use exactly the same code). Can you post a scene where it doesn't work?

Best regards,
Vlado

[KiboOst]

After checking, it doesn't work either in vrayRT or prod renderer.
Check your pm for the scene please.

Basically :

You can email a scene to vlado@chaosgroup.com - those private messages fill up faster than I can manage to clear them, so I've given up

I'd like to know the outcome of this, I've had the same problem in the past.

[KiboOst]

Any insight on this Vlado ? Did you received my email ?

I would like to know this as well. I am having same issue with dome and hdri images.
