Title: Issues using EXR environment map in CoronaBitmap
Post by: John.McWaters on 2019-02-20, 16:26:40

When I try to load a free sky environment map I downloaded from Poliigon (exr file), the CoronaBitmap component is giving me an error saying it cannot load the EXR file because it's not an open EXR file. I tried both 16K and 8K map sizes. Any idea what the issue could be?

Try to load that HDRI file with native bitmap loader. If it loads correctly, then report the issue here: https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?board=2.0 and also provide offending file.

I forgot to mention that it does load with the native bitmap loader, just not the CoronaBitmap loader.

Then please report it and provide the file. There were already similar cases with unusual HDRIs not loading in Corona bitmap and Team reacted very swiftly when they got offending files.
