Dome light - map preview

[voltron7]

I'm sorry if this is already asked, but could there be a viewport preview of the vray dome camera's texture/HDR? I've been using dome lights more, but this sort of preview would save some time of guessing good rotation values and test renderings...thanks

It has been asked before and we'll definitely try to think of something.

Best regards,

i second that...

the way i do it is that i always create a jpeg from the hdri an map it onto a sphere next to the dome light so i can see how shoudl i rotate them ))

Why not just instance the map to the max environment? You can see that in the viewport and use that to align the map. Works okay for me. Obviously not that great for reflections, but there is a scripted utility that gives a workraround to show a realtime preview of VrayHDRI reflections (VrayHDRITool), and of course RT is coming ....
