  • HDRI not effecting material

    Posted by Simon Hutchinson on April 23, 2009 at 5:50 pm

    Hi there,

    I have an HDRI applied in the environment channel on a glass material, the image appears in the texture area in the material editor but it has no effect on the material preview or in the render. What am i doing wrong? (i have advanced render).

    Cheers,

    Jethro.

    Responding to my own post, but to not answer a question that you know the answer to would be sacrilege. I found the answer on another forum:

    Hi there,

    you’re right, it only appears if you have it lower than 100% transparent, even 99% works. Maxon have changed the way glass materials work quite a bit in R11, so it’s not too surprising. So in this case I just recomment to use transparencies slightly less than 100% to get virtually the same result.

    Man, thank you so much for coming back to answer your own question! I’ve been trying to figure this out for an hour and would still be in the dark if you hadn’t.

    Thanks again,
    LD

    Sometimes you will feel like smashing your comp or switching apps because of annoying issues. I am glad my words helped someone else. Communities that have given me so much deserve a little putting back every now and again.
