"Iray Memory Assistant" doesn't calculate if your scene has a HDRI?

I just purchased this, and I have not found that my scene HDRI is calculated into the whole.

What other overhead gremlins are missed by this utility?

The HDRI would be reflected by the GPU memory available, but it would be nice to know in the main list how much the HDRI is consuming.

    It is an older product (though HDRIs have been there from the beginning as far as I can recall) and is making a slightly educated guess. It may be useful as a relative guide, for comparing similar scenes, but I would regard it as likely to be very accurate - it never was precise, and both Iray and the sahders have changed a lot over the eyars.

    Thanks Richard, what info it does give is very helpful to guage the size of things, it would be nice if it was more complete.
