Can't find Jpeg backgrounds

afterdeath666

Hi, I bought the Chaotic Realms Backgrounds and I can only see the light setups for the backgrounds, but the JPEGS are not in my items list. Does anyone know where they are stored and how to load a background to start to make a scene with it?

Thanks, Mike

How did you install? if you used DIM you can right-click on the entry in the Installed tab, select Show Installed files, and then click in the list to go to that location on your drive.

I did use the DIM to Install and it says they are there, but when I open the program itself and try to find the backgrounds in either the Presets, Editor, Smart or Content Library, it only shows the lighting setups, but not the actual jpeg backgrounds. So I may not be trying to load them in to start a scene with correctly.

you'll likely find the .jpg's in the texture folder in your runtime under the name of the author.

OR search for  "Apocalyptic Sun "  (2000x1500) which is one of the included textures in your pack on your HD and that will give you the path to your pic's/jpg's.

then use the enviroment tab> background>and go to the correct directory. Jpg backgrounds typically do NOT  load themselves, unlike a HDRI in which they create a .duf file to load it.  hope this helps. Remember also that those light are for poser and :

• Lights will work in DS without intensity needing adjusted - but shadows, AO and caustics will not translate. SO, you might want to use some other lights or IRay lights if you are a IRay user.  Good Luck. ~
