Hi All.
First post here.
I took the plunge and invested a bunch of my hard earned to purchase maxwell.
Hopefully I'll be able to master it one day, but boy is it a steep learning curve!

I use archicad as my modeling tool & export into maxwell using the plugin.

So to get to my current problem.
I'm trying to use HDRI's to light my image and also be the background for my models.
In the technical documentation I've seen, there's been a drop down option to select ibl, but on my studio I cant see this option.

I have performed a search, but was unable to resolve my problem - information overload I guess?

Anyhow, many thanks in adavance for any help.
I'd like to say that I'll be able to reciprocate, but I dont forsee being overly competant any time soon.

Cheers.

Image Based = IBL (Image Based Lighting)

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the quick reply.

When I load an image using the 'Image Based' environment, I'm finding it becomes a background to my model as apposed to enveloping it (if I'm making sense)
- When I rotate the model, the background stay the same. Is this supposed to happen?
