Hdri not loading when clicked

Serene Night

Lately the hdri presets fail to load the texture when I click on them. I just bought mec4ds apocalypse  set and none of the presets load the hdri dome Image into the correct location in render settings. I just load it manually from the directory and it works fine but I'm wondering if there is a reason they are not loading up like they should. It isn't just this set but others as well.

A few fail for me too, as well as soem of Dimension Therooy's (IIRC) - check the log file and see if you get a similatr amessage to me:

2017-09-03 04:00:09.343 D:/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library/Runtime/Textures/DimensionTheory/IrayHDRs/DTHDR-MauiA.hdr (1,1): Syntax error - expected '{' or '['

That one loaded for me but they don't always. Hmm wonder if there is a difference between when I load a scene with things already in it an load a scene with nothing and click hdri

I'm fairly certain that one used to load, so who knows!

I think the Mec4D sets puts a camera into the scene; if this camera is present and you try to load another one from the set, it produces a syntax error and fails.  Probably should be reported if nobody's done that yet.
