Title: Light material/HDR with EXR file
Post by: caspian on 2021-01-27, 20:33:03

I recently bought a set of HDRI images. I thought I could use them as environment or HDR lights but maybe the latest version doesn't support them as my scene is dark as isthe material preview. I'm sure I have used them before.... or am I missing something.

Is the texture (or HDRI in this case) correctly loaded?

I loaded it as I usually do > light material > texture…

UPDATE: Rebooted C4D and it's working. <shrug>

Hi, how are you trying to apply the hdri's? Are you creating a Corona Sky > Type: Shader/HDRI and adding the map there (recommended method) or are you making a light material, adding the map there, and then applying that to an old sky object? If this doesn't help, you're welcome to share your scene with us via our private uploader. The link is in my signature below.
