Vray Elements not rendering sky

#1

Hello,

I’m using vray render elements for maya.

I’m using exr 32 bit multichannel file format.

When I render out all the different layers none of them are rendering the sky except for the beauty pass.

The sky is being generated by a light dome.

What am I doing wrong?

My elements are;
GI
Vray Dirt for ao
lighting
reflection
refraction
specular
z depth

need a backgroundRE

#3

That does seem like the logical answer but it’s not working. Remember, the hdr image is being generated by the light dome as a texture.

Please help, this is an unexpected delay.

selfIllum works then.

That works. Thank you for the prompt reply
