HDRI Skies and Vray * Sky rendered greyish

ludo21 · October 20th, 2007

Hello,

I'm rendering a scene with Vray (Irradiance and QMC) and one HDRI sky on GI environment (environment multi : 1.0 ; HDRI multiplier : 1.8) and Reflexion environment.
The problem is : overall lumination is good, but the sky rendered on background and in the reflexions, is very grey.... it becomes whiter if I increase the HDRI multiplier but never becomes "brighter"..
I need to get it bluer and more contrasted. Could anyone help ?

I guess it's a common problem with VRay and HDRI, that you may have come across.. thanks in advance

Try unchecking "Affect background" under Color Mapping.
