i use rhino, and does anyone know how to use HDRI or LDRI images?if not possible in rhino, is it possible to use HDRI or LDRI in 3DSMAX?

You must to use maxwell MXI viewer ( mxcl -d ) load a HDR file and convert it to MXI. This MXI can be later applied to the emission map of an emitter material. I don't know if rhino already has this capability enabled.

Hi,

it works in Rhino too. Open the MXI viewer open a LDR image or a HDRI (*.hdr) and save it as MXI. You must set the intensity of the MXI map in the viewer. Than, you build an emitter and assign the MXI texture. Ready.
If you like to use a panorama environment, you must use sphere as emitter.

Open the MXI viewer open a LDR image or a HDRI (*.hdr) and save it as MXI.

you can load hdr images as well now.

You mean in the emitter shader direct?

he means into the mxi viewer, he didn't read properly
