HDRI sky

[vaheeez]

Hey guys I"m having trouble inserting an HDRi sky, I followed the tutorial on inserting environments but my sky doesn't seem to be changing. Does anyone know of any websites that could help me out on this or does anyone have any helpful tips?

Hmm... not sure what to recommend if you couldn't get the tutorial you found to work.

Can you post screenshots of your setup? Maybe we can determine the issue then.

Re: HDRI sky

Silly question first- you are loading the HDRI into the "background" slot rather than tha GI (sky) slot aren't you?

Secondly, have you set the mapping to spherical or mirror ball depending on the HDRI?

Thirdly (the most likely culprit), if you're using physical camera you'll need to set the background multiplier to 20 or above (I ususally use 20 to 30 for most HDRIs and about 50 for jpgs). If you're still using v.1.00 you may need to set that multipler in the tens of thousands.

Hope this helps,
