cropped environment bitmap?

louis.cho · June 26th, 2008

Hi

I am playing with a VrayHDRI in the environment slot to get nice reflection and illumination. It seems that I can't get the right scale of my image with VrayHDRI and each time I render, the environment only display a cropped part of the original image. This make my reflections completly wrong.

Am I missing something here?

Have you chosen the right HDRI format? (Spherical etc)

I think it's because it's a spherical image (360-degrees) and you're seeing a small section of it (35-degrees typically).
