Thanks for the feedback :)

This is a Collaborative Open Source work with some really fine guys ( Christian, Dschaga, Tischbein, Volxen, Gwyine and those I'm missing ).
We are trying to provide a reliable and easy to use IBL Rendering Workflow.

Don't hesitate to provide feedback, ideas and report problems if you encounter some, here or better : http://www.hdrlabs.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?board=port

Thanks for this tool. In Lightwave does it have fprime support?

Yes, because it only builds a setup with Lightwave's own tools. You'll have to switch Radiosity on in FPrime's Master plugin and it works great. Actually, Steve Worley himself used to use it from the early beginnings for demo videos.... ;)

I'm copying this from the sIBL forums since I haven't received a response from there yet:

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. I just installed the sIBL Loader 4 Maya running on Vista 64. I followed the readme but I get this error: "Error: Invalid flag: -Testgrid."

Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Btw, I'm running Maya 2009 Service Pack 1a x64.

Are you using the testgrid-sIBL in your folder? If so ... remove it and try again.

Does it solve the problem?
