Title: Correct use of HRDI
Post by: mutilo on 2019-03-28, 14:43:55

Hi guys,
I am writing to ask you for an opinion or rather a correct use of HDR for 4D cinema.
I proceed in this way: I insert the map into a light marerial which I then associate with the sky object.
Today in a viodeo tutorial I saw instead that the map was loaded into the diffuse channel of the new material, then always associated with the sky object.
Now I have tried the second solution and it seems to me that the result is the same ...
What do you say?

Thank you

HDR in a light material is correct.

Maybe they were using it in the Diffuse channel for reflections, then they had a Sun object. Just a guess.
