What' it all about?

The geometry of your model probably has some context: a site, a neighborhood, etc. You might choose to extend your model to include much or all of this context, but that can get unwieldy, so it might be easier to add that context as a background image instead. That is an environment and in V-Ray there are two main ways to do this.

The model at right consists of a single glass ball. The environment of the ball is provided by an image of a sunrise, wrapped around the ball and rendered in the reflections and refracted light. That's what this is about.

Two ways to do it:

Using the 'Environment' panel

In the V-Ray Asset Editor's 'Settings' area look for the 'Environment' options.

Click on 'Environment to expand that section.

Setting the 'Background'

The background setting may be a simple color (default=black), or a texture (indicated by the icon). If it is a texture, the brightness of the image is controlled by the numeric input field. The check-box () is used to toggle between background color and background texture.

Setting a background image

When you click on the icon the right panel of the Asset Editor will open to reveal the Texture manipulation options:

If it doesn't say 'bitmap' under the image swatch (highlighted in yellow here), click on the word that is there to bring up the texture options list. Bitmap is up towards the top--pick it to display the options shown above.

At the right edge of the Bitmap area, click on the icon to select an image file as a texture image. This will bring up an OS dialog box to browse for the file. If the file is an HDR or EXR image, be sure the ColorSpace option is 'Rendering Space (Linear)'. If it is a JPG file, it's probably 'Screen Space (sRGB)'.

But Wait! There's More!

You have now selected a Texture to use as the background or environment image, but there are a couple of additional details to take care of. Read on!
