[solved] Environment override not working

[dj_buckley]

I'm using a Daylight system set to Corona Sun/No Sky - and I have a Corona Sky in the 3DS Max Environment tab.

I want to render on black for compositing - but checking the Direct Visibility Override isn't doing anything - I can't get rid of the Corona Sky

Any ideas - hopefully I'm having a dense moment

This should just work.
Can you send us screenshots showing the same dialogs as here?

Attached - the sky looks a bit odd too - it almost looks like there are square seams either side of the building in the lower portion

[dj_buckley]

Merging into a new scene doesn't do anything either.  Those odd seams on the sky are coming from a context model that's behind the camera (just grey boxes casting shadows and visible to reflection - almost as if the sky background is reflecting them?

I've switched the Daylight System out for a normal Corona Sun and still nothing

[dj_buckley]

Very strange behaviour - the Environment appears to reflective - almost as if it's reflecting itself - the two odd squares are definately my context blocks - if i set them to 'invisible to reflection' they disappear from the sky.

If I tick the checkboxes next to Reflect/Refract override and set them to black - the sky goes black.  There's something reflecting somewhere

Is there some object with refractive material between your camera and enviroment?

Okay - can we delete this thread - I've figured it out *hangs head in shame* - one of my glass window panes was a plane that had render scale set at 1000.

I must have created it straight after my ground plane.  What a donut

Nice one! :)
