Title: Sky+HDRI not working ?
Post by: arqpv on 2015-03-16, 17:37:32

Hey guys, I'm new to Corona. I've been trying to light my scene  with an HDRI but I haven't been succesful. I'll attach a simple scene.
I create a Corona sky, create corona material, I add hdr image to emission channel, I apply the material to the sky object. But it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong ?

THanks !!!

To have the HDRI properly set-up in Corona you need to create a Sky object (not the Corona sky tag) and apply the texture to that. Currently you have it applied to a Sky object that has a Corona sky tag. Just delete the tag and apply the texture.

As a small hint: If you put the same hdri in the diffuse you will see the hdri in the viewport in all the viewing conditions  ;)

Hope it helps :)

So all I had to do was delete the corona sky tag. lol.
When I created it, I went to plugins->Corona-> Corona sky. That's why it had the tag in the first place.

Thanks!!!!
