Does anyone know why I cannot create a material and set its ambient colour to an hdr file. I get the following error:

Failed to open texture file C:/Downloads/3d/maya/tutorials/mental ray/uffizi_probe2.hdr

Thanks.

I belive that it says that it failed to load but in actuallity it does...
Ive loaded them before and it gives me that warning but it shows up...
Turn on your hardware rendering in your work windows and you should see it.

thanks because Maya doesent know whats .hdr, and she automaticly gives you an error, but she doesent remove or alter a file. Mray on the other hand knows whats .hdr and he uses it properly.
hmmm...he...she...all i can say they are a great couple ! :)

Thanks for the response guys. Mental ray render is gorgeous. I am beginning to not miss Lightwave render.

Its a heck of a lot faster than Lightwave....and a lot more accurate..... Lightwave does have a nice render though....
