Did you convert it properly to an EXR or did you simply change the suffix?
EXR should work.

Which software and versions do you use?

I have export it corectly to .exr, but it shows same problem just like i didn't change it at all.. Thats the problem.. If i change enviroment, and decide to use sun instead, it still reports the same mistake..

I use sketchup 8, indigorenderer 3.2.13

Seems one of your materials still has a HDR assigned.
And it also seems that Skindigo exports all mats to Indigo, even the unused...
So Indigo loads the mat with .hdr and reports an error.

Would be quite a RAM saver if Skindigo would only export used materials *wink*

You have to:

1. Change the environment map material to the one with EXR in the Skindigo environment dialog (Apply!)
2. Delete the material in the SketchUp material dialog (right click) which belongs to the HDR

The order is important, the other way round it will not work (the deletion will fail)

Thanks man, it really helps

What is the best way to setup enviroment map.. I mean, how to set up emission setings of material..
