Env bckgnd through VRay refraction ????

[Fabrice]

Hi all

I want to render a train alone on a nice pure grey environnement.
So, Icreated a grey plane for ground. I set environnement color of max to ... grey.
BUT I want nice HDRI reflections. So I assigned a "VRay-HDRI" to The Refl/Rfr slot of the "Vray Environnement".

My prob is with refraction in glass parts : I always see the HDRI bitmap through the glass instead of the grey bckgrnd
Someone knows what I did wrong ???

This is a known limitation being solved with the new version afaik. There will be seperate slots for refl. and refr. env.

I do workarounds by putting the hdri into the reflection mapping slot of the material instead.

good luck,

d.

> putting the hdri into the reflection mapping slot
you mean in a standard Max material ?
