favorite Iray skydome?
in The Commons
Pro and con coments on skydomes for Iray ... I have Iray Worlds and am happy with some of the horizons and skys, it is difficult to set time of day and latitude and longifude (unless I'm missing something). If you were to have just one, which would it be?

I like Flipmode's stuff. http://www.daz3d.com/flipmode
If there's also the variousd packs from dimensiontheory: http://www.daz3d.com/dimensiontheory

flipmode's skydome's are for 3DL only I believe, and HDR's are not really sky domes, although they obviously perform a similar function.
Well, "skydomes" usually don't work in Iray; they are like a big cup you put over the scene, putting everything into darkness.
Both his
come with a sky that works great in Iray.
I mostly use Skies of Iradiance, especislly the Sol Sunny D, and the Dry Mud Desert update for Iray.
And I use DA Real World Lighting a lot.
Most of them are for 3DL but there are one or two of the more recent ones that have both 3DL and Iray versions.
Cheers,
Alex.
Thanks!
and there is even a Dimension Theory sale... in the basket now
