Title: Hdri question
Post by: Alcor on 2018-09-28, 11:36:56

Hi guys,

So, I have some questions about hdri usage in corona. Sorry if that's already explained in another post but I didn't find the good answer.

I was using Corona 2 yeas ago and I have to go back to Vray till today. At the time I think I (we?) was using HDRI with VrayHdrimtl. I mainly used coronasky ('cause it's awesome) so I don't remember if there is another way to use correctly an HDRI.

Today I'm come back to Corona and I wanted to use an HDRI, should I use Bitmap mtl or CoronaBitmap or something else ?

In VrayHdrimtl we have Overall multiplier, Render multiplier, .. do we have (need?) something like that somewhere ?

You should always use Corona Bitmap unless it's necessary to use 3ds Max Bitmap for some reason. The primary reason is that Corona Bitmap will always render faster.
You can plug your Corona Bitmap into a Corona Color Correct node, where you can adjust EV, gamma, and other parameters.
