environmental reflection

[Fulvio Romano]

Good evening to all,
who of you can explain how you do in alias to make the reflective materials reflect a fictitious image?
I'll explain. For example, steels must reflect the surrounding world. how do I insert a "round world" with a photo, and make sure that all the materials reflect it (without changing the individual materials)?

Thank you.

excuse ignorance... what is a hdr map and how to use it?

 

[X3D]

hdri stands for high dynamic range image.

with this type of map as well as simulating the surrounding environment, it also emits light.

if you want to deepen your speech look at this link: http://www.debevec.org/probes/Here you are also explained as a creartene of yours.

I usually use 3ds max maya or way for renderings that handle them better, but also alias if you quarry very well since he also has mental ray as renddrizer.

If you want, you can take an escamotage to do more or less the same thing if you don't have hdrs; create a huge ball that will contain your scene, and send him a photo.

cmq if you are looking for free of low quality and high quality hdr.
a hdr file is very big because as I explained above it also has photometric properties, I found some that exceed 30 mb.

I attach you a small test that I have done with this method, as you will notice there are three spheres with three different materials (colors) that reflect a surrounding environment (in my case Paris in the evening).

Yes, in alias I have active enviroment, but the result until now was not great.

Thanks for the tip. I study this way.

If you want me to put my scene on you, I slightly perfected it.
