Good question - make sure you're set to latlong.

Example:

Code: Select all

	<env_map>
		<latlong>
			<path>example.exr</path>
			<gain>1</gain>
		</latlong>
	</env_map>

That might just be the problem. it was set to spherical. nobody I knew had used these .exrs before, we didi have a clue of what was going to happen.

thanks for the quick response.
i'm using these probes.

@Jacco: what 3d modeling app are you using?
There was some insight on this regard for blender. Check it here:

I think you used the EXR exporter for PhotoShop :P
I get the same result when I export with that.. :?

Don't know why, though...

you're absolutely right! :oops: :oops: I got confused with another thread :wink: But I'm glad it's working now. I recommend you to try converting some of those evermotion hdrs into exr. They give some nice results :wink:

Play with the gain setting (turn it way up - try 1, 1000, 100000, etc). Do you have any emitters? There's been a lot of confusion about how environment maps interact with other light sources. Here's the best response on the subject I've read:

http://www.indigorenderer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=84

Even if that isn't the problem, it's something everyone should be aware of.

EDIT - Forget this, I'm wrong!

In the XML file, is there a background bit that has the EXR in, and one with something like

Code: Select all

<spectrum>
<rbg> 1 1 1 </rbg>
</spectrum>
?

If so, delete the one with the RGB bit in. No idea if this is the problem, but possible :?

Aha.

Perhaps this is the problem:
Delete any background element + its contents. You should have an env_map thing, though.

Or, do you have ground plane on when you export?
