Sky is lighting the objects

[AntoineSfx]

Using environment light with light / sky env.map enabled and render light geometry enabled, I have a blue sky, but all the objects are lit with a blue light. Is this the expected result, and how can I have just the blue sky, without it lighting other objects ?

You can check the box to render as background and then except the geo from the env. light using the "light mask" option. Like this 

 

 

It's in the render tab of the geo node at the obj level

ok that makes sense.

 

But I'm losing the benefits of the environment light. So what's next ? I created a second environment light without sky env map to env light the scene. This does what I expected, ie. sky + env light. But does this mean that I will have to set the ligth mask each time to the correct value for each geo ?

Not sure I understand. If you want the env. light you can just use the env. light without setting up any masks. The default "sky light" from the shelf is the sky + env. light
