Softimage Xsi: HDRI render - XSI

Well I just followed the tutorial in you site Ed, for HDRI renderings. I dunno if I-m doing something wrong, but my images lacks color... it seems like I just get a "nomal" final gathering render, and don-t really have the color nuances.


I used the "The Uffizi Gallery, Florence" Probe image from Debevec's site (http://www.debevec.org/Research/HDR/)


I tryied other probe images (with more colors on them), but all my renders seem to be in black and white. Am I doing something wrong? plz help! :D


this is the pic I did with the Uffizi Gallery HDRI Probe image:





I was curious about HDRI, that-s why I'm making these tests, if u guys have other tutorial links, or info related to HDRI plz let me know! :)

Hi!

try to connect image to "color" node (not just to radience). I'm playing with HDRI too, but I can't correctly map HDR (*.map) image on the sphere :/ I get some black spots on it. What projection do you use?

Hi Barracuda! thnxs for the reply... well I-m going to test right now what u told me (plug it into color also).


I'm using Spherical Projection...


I'll keep you informed if it worxs!
