Title: Extra HDRI Slot or Domelight for Lightmix purposes
Post by: kehlje on 2016-11-29, 00:23:31

Hello,

Can anyone think of a way for someone to incorporate an additional HDRI into their Corona scene for Lightmix purposes? I am using an overcast HDRI in my environment slot, but when I turn this down in Lightmix for 'evening' scenes I have a very black sky.  If I could have an extra domelight or something in the scene with a nice blue HDRI, that I can turn up in Lightmix to get better evening light. I'm working in a big scene with lots of design studies and it's helpful to be able to generate lots of lighting conditions from one camera and scene. Such a great feature, by the way!

Some of the problems with this would be how should this work with reflections, refractions? Sorry, but I don't think this is going to happen.

there is also the issue that multiple environment maps would bring a huuuge slowdown, so we are no t planning to do it - lightmix would not save rnedertime in this scenario anyways
