hopbin9 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hi, How do I create an environmental map in Houdini. Need to apply a gradient as the background for testing some metal shaders, but can't figure this out. The only thing I can think of is create a sphere and texturing it.

anim Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 1. you can use env light with environment map and if don't want it to emit light just change the mode to Ray Tracing Background if you are not using Mantra Surface, or Surface Model then it may not work and you 2. simply use big sphere or any simple object with Environment Box material from palette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
