Dumor3D HDRIs as a backdrop also

Now that I have a machine that can handle Iray with no problems, I have been trying to wrap my head around it. I have the Dumor3D Apocalyptic Plant Indoors Set 2 set and was wondering if it's possible to have the HDRI visable in the viewpoint so that I can line up the shot better. They render great, but by not being able to see them in the viewpoint it's hard to add figures and such. Any ideas?

    You can click on the arrow next to circle where you choose the camera view and, at the bottom, is an option for nVidia which gives a sort of interactive render of what is in the viewport.  You can also do the same in the Aux Viewport.

    edit: Went and grabbed a screenshot that ThatGuy recently uploaded for a similar question.

    This will give you a sphere that will show the orientation of the HDRi...

    Was in the club since it was first introduced Bob, but I could only render with the CPU with the old system, so Reality and Lux was still as fast if not faster. Plus because I was on Vista, the latest Lux would not run on my rig (Paolo tried big time to get it to work). Now with the new Skylake 6700K rig, everything screams, so I figured I would get into Iray a bit more, plus I can now use the latest reality and Lux, win, win.

    Here is my first real attempt at an Iray render. Still need to fiddle with the settings and materials, but this took all of 8 minutes, LOL

    Be careful when you save a render sometimes you get the preview instead. I think there's a way of saving that's safe but I don't remember what it is. I don't use iray much (cpu-only) but got bit by this a few times and finally closed any preview tabs.
