how to turn off HDRI image
i just did this great tutorial for HDRI lighting but have one question. How do i still get the great reflections and HDRI look on my objects, without seeing the actual background? When i turn off the background i lose the glassy look on the objects? Any thoughts? Keep in mind i’m a newbie too…

Hi Rob,
The HDRI image should be applied to a sky or sphere (surrounding the scene). Select the sky object, add a compositing tag which in C4D 9.6 is under File>Cinema 4D tags>Compositing. Once the tag is applied, click on the icon to the right of the object, then in the properties window below, check off seen by camera. Hope that makes sense, and helps..

Hi Tim,
thanks for the response. It sounds like it should work but the image doesn’t want to disappear unless i check off Seen by Rays as well. At that point, i’m not sure if i’m still getting the effect of the HDRI images or if it’s completely turned off?
thanks,

So let me see…. do you have a background plane or something in the scene? Is that what you’re seeing the HDRI image in? If so, go to the Compositing Tag on the sky object. Click on the Exclusion Tab, and then drag the background object into the Exclusion area….this will prevent the Sky from reflecting on the Background.
