problem with enviroment background

[themaxxer]

I have some strange thing going on here...

I have set a background color and light the scene with a dome light with a hdri mapped on it. the problem is I see the hdri on the rendered image, but that's fault. the backgroundcolor is there too, but it's cut off.







I use a max cam. could it be the image aspect of 0.75? oh, and vray 1.5 rc3

in rc3 the default for the domelight is visible. you have to set the "invisible " checkbox in the domelight settings.

thanks instict for the pointer. it's working.

...but something seems wrong.

look the reflections on the cap. it seems there is a grey plane reflecting, but nothing is there in the scene.



when I turn of the domelight, the grey color disappears, too.



I can't explain that...?

ok, I got it! it's the 'affect specular' option.
