Easy Environments render black

Achillias

Hello,

I purchased 'First Light Skydome and HDRI' and 'Easy Environments Eternal Sands', but when I load and render them, the render is completely black. I tried all environment modes (Dome and scene, Scene only etc.). As if there are no lights in the scene. Does somebody know what I am doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated!

Best regards, Rudy

Skydomes block the light in Iray, hide it in the Scene Tab. There are settings so that the Skydome can be used in this thread.

Eternal Sands is for 3Delight, and the lights that come with it don't work properly in Iray. Also, as Fishtales said, the skydome blocks the light. You can try going to the scene tab, and delete all the lights and the skydome, then load the First Light HDRI. Don't load Skydomes, they are for 3Delight rendering.

Thanks guys!

There are some tricks for converting the older sets to Iray. We talked about them on Flipmode's thread here, 

I just used First Light in Iray here, works perfectly. Make sure you are loading the right version for the render engine you're using and you should be okay.
