Thanks Ian, thanks Indigo community.

You need something like this and NO background element.

Check that the exr doesn't just have a grey floor, too.

I searched for the bit about the exr map in my xml. been doing that few a few days. never found it. something with the exports script I guess. where should I fit it in?

Usually near the top - after camera and tonemapping settings. Would you mind posting your xml? You can omit the meshes if you want (would save space).

Hi Jacco,
don't guess too much, EXR works well for most peoples with exporter script ... just set the params on exporter GUI ("Env Type" to "Map", On "Probe" field you can set the EXR filename without path and ensure when starting indigo the EXR file sitting in same directory as the XML file, and so on ...

[IanC]

It must be in there though, you can see it in the reflections.

As said, it's early on in it. You can find it just by opening the file and you probably don't even have to scroll.

If you post the XML I'll highlight it for you/put it in.

I only use the exporter. I filled in probe. IanC's though was the right one. I tilted the camera, my tests we're positive. now I'm getting the materials right and I'll do another render. finished the headlights, got rims from fried and put on the doorhandles and sprinklers.

And, (sorry for my enthusiastic posting behaviour) here's an update:

looks good!let it cook up some more time and would be perfect...

[Jacco]

I wanted to but indigo crashed after couple of minutes XD

Turned out great. Don't you dare posting another image unless it got > 1.5k mutations per pixel.

edit: I'd say pull the camera back a bit and let the car breathe, since as of know the picture frame is pretty tight.

[Jacco]

I will but indigo 0.6 test6 keeps crashing after ten minutes or something.
