Skymap, Environment problems

OK. I have read the manual a dozen times but I can't figure skymap tag.

My OM setup:

The C4D material:

The skymap Tag:

I always get a BLACK render.

To ensure that I haven't messed up the scene, I created an emmiting plane and It rendered fine. So objects and their textures are fine (what could go wrong with 1 floor and 1 cube?)

I pumped up the skymap's intensity to 50000, but nada

I changed the texture from hdr to jpg to tga to mxi to 32 bit to 16 bit to 8 bit to a simple color.... Nothing

Any help?
Thanks

same here, works in 1.0, black render in 1.1

just another untested alpha version...

I am putting a lot of effort not to be negative here.

So, this is what I think AndreD, there is (somewhere) some setting that we have missed, that didn't exist in the previous plugin. Have in mind that this is a COMPLETELY rewritten plug (AFAIK).

anyway...
HEEEEEELP :?

Confirmed this is a bug- use Studio for HDRI/MXS environment control on export of MXS from C4D.
