wondering what im doing wrong, i have my scene setup with a skylight that is projecting a hdri map and im useing raytrace materials to try and get a good global lighting render of a car model i am making. for some reason nothing wants to reflect the hdri map, just other solids in the scene. i have light tracer enabled and im sure all the materals are set properly. maybe there is an option i am overlooking. other important info is my background render enviroment is set to pure white. do i need more lighting in the scene? or maybe pure white walls for the tracer to bounce off of? do i needto mess with the intesity multplier? any help yall can give would be appreciated. thank you

you have cecked the output value in bitmap properties for the HDRI?

other important info is my background render enviroment is set to pure white. do i need more lighting in the scene? or maybe pure white

hey ,,,,,that HDRI goes in environment slot too....thick use map,,,:) if not you will get a nice white reflection from environment..
