HDRI Lighting Through Structure?

WitchavenWitchaven Posts: 29

Odd question, I love the lighting that the HDRI produces on my character when I start with it. But the trouble is the lighting gets completely changed once the character is inside. I get it, this is to emulate an exterior light, like the sun. But is there a way to keep the lighting of the character and add them to an interior? Other than rendering them in 1 shot and then rendering the scene in another, then combining them in Photoshop lol

    Investigate Iray Section Planes. They will let the HDRI light enter the interior as though the wall was not there.

    Try Finite Cube and, using the X<Y<Z sliders, resize it to fit inside the room. Use Dome Only and Draw Dome  - OFF. This will put the Dome inside the room and use the lighting but wont draw the Dome.

    Thank you both barbult & Fishtales, I'll try these methods.
