DL the last 1,,2,2,a patch

then go to file>> open hdr.... adjust intensity and gamma (on the left pane), be careful, the intensity makes it final, there is no way to put moe or less after...

then load your sphere, apply the emitter mat., load the mxi..

then in lw luminosity channel, load a tga copy of your hdr ( hdrshop does it), then render...

voilà

[Hervé]

you HAVE tO use the last beta 1.2.2a...

ope the mxi viewer.. and in normal menu File>> load HDR

then only then it opens a different pane style... he he

HDRShop is a softawre to manipulate and convert for instance an HDRI image to a TGA LDR image...

www.hdrshop.com to DL a free copy... (only non commercial use)

good luck..

well, I usually lower the gamma, and push the intensity to have a good contrast later when rendering.

high is light, low is dark.... right

I hope you'll post your results...
