only to push it! vlado don't forget it for the next update. It was wished for so long and it's frustrating me all days...

Can you not just make the light invisible and use the same texture as environment map too?

[themaxxer]

yes I can.
...and I see there's a technical problem to implement this, because if not you have made it for sure.

It's not a particular problem to implement it, I'm just trying to figure out how important it is for your workflow

I would really like to have the option in the light. Primary reason: workarounds add variables and this multiplies the potential for user error. There are *so* many settings that can torch a render or kill countless hours tracking down the problems they can generate. I'd strongly urge for the simplest solution if only to save me from myself

[themaxxer]

exactly! one thing less to think about. one or two clicks less with the mouse...

If it is as simple as adding an 'affect alpha' check box to the dome light settings, then that would be really helpful.

Thanks,

Andrew

the dome light is a very handy "one stop shop" for lighting and environment GI--having to duplicate a texture into an environment slot somewhere else just to see it in the background is kind of a nuisance.. if an option is too complex, to me it makes more sense to disable alpha contribution for the dome altogether since it makes the alpha completely white anyway.

+1 needed this multiple times since I am a big fan of domelight.

[vlado]

Yes, will get to that.
