environment and reflection/refraction

[fabrizio]

I'm working for an image inside a yacht.
how can I obtain those kind of effects:

1-a backgroung image of a sea (a simple image)
2-reflections from a hdri
3-light from GI skylight

I tried to put the image in "max enviroment slot", hdri in the vray "Reflection/Refraction etc environment" and light from vray skylight.

If I have a vray glass I can't see the background image and only reflection and refraction from hdri image
if I have a simple max glass (trasparent material) I can see the backround but I haven't the reflections
If I have a simple max material with refractions map of vray again I can't see the background
Only max material with vray map of reflections seems to work but it has not a very glass look.

Any idea?



Thanx

You could use the Environment slot in the VRayMtl for all the materials that you need the HDRI specular on.
