Iray Skies 1 ReadMe

COMPATIBILITY:

This is a collection of files of various different formats, all of which can be used to create a background and environmental lighting in the "Environment Map" parameter for the Iray render engine in DAZ Studio 4.8 beta or higher. The HDRIs will also work with Uber lights, and anywhere else you find usr for an HDRI file. The other formats can be used as backgrounds in any software that can read BMP, TIFF, or PNG files. 

INSTALLATION AND USE:

Keep these files wherever you keep background image files and HDRI files. There is no specific file structure needed. To use with Iray, load an image into the "Environment Map" by clicking the arrow next to "Choose Map" and browsing to wherever you stored the files. 
You may notice the image looks excessively bright. If so, lower the "Environment Intensity" or "Environment Map" sliders until the lighting dims and clouds can be seen. 
Please experiment with the "Dome Mode" settings until you find the one you like best.
