      Hello all!

      I'm having some problems when using a HDRI on the Background portion of the Environment setting. I set up the map from Sky to bitmap, select Image and set it up as enviroment (spherical)... Same as I've doing with the GI (which works just fine).

      Problem is, the render turns out being completely black (not very dark, just black). Any ideas or suggestion as how can I fix this?

        You must turn the Multiplier up for the HDRI.
        How much depends on the VfSU version you are using. Could be 20-50 or it could be 20000-50000...
        What VfSU version do you use?

            Good to hear.
            Note that the multiplier must be increased as such when you use the Physical Camera. If you turn it off you must re-adjust the multiplier of the HDRI and all your light sources.
