env-map rotation

Would it be possible to add a rotation matrix to an env-map (round the vertical axis should be enough) just to set which part of the background will be in front of the camera without having to change (shift) the original exr file ?

Wow, Thanks a lot Ono !
Before writing I searched the option both in the latest manual and into the forum, but I never found it.
Is it to be released in a future release or my search wasn't so smart ?

its in 1.1.15 but you would never know cos its buried in the testscenes .zip
unless of course you were paying attn to my posts asking about it and showing it trialed in my blendigo version
and, ono still hasnt answered my question about lat-long...all in all looking forward to 1.1 stable (finally!) and moving on to other activities.

Sweet, I can't wait until Blendigo supports EXR rotation.

I would like to see placement as well as rotation. We've had rotation in Skindigo for awhile and it is very nice, but still now control over size of the exr or placement or anything. I know other renders have this ability. It would be a big help for outdoor scenes!

I'm finding the request strange. By design the placement must be the center of the scene (where the probe was), it acts like an infinitely far away source so scale doesn't matter, why should one care about ?
As it was mentioned recently, you can drop the environment lighting and apply the exr to the emission of a big reverted sphere.

hmm, maybe I'm not being clear, mostly because I'm not sure how it works in other renderers. But, I know that there needs to be some control over the exr, other than painting it onto a giant sphere and making it an emitter.
I don't think that materials can be exr's can they? At least I haven't seen that option in Skindigo.

Indigo 1.1.6 changelog wrote:* added EXR as supported texture format.
in C4D if a EnvMap is used for the c4d sky dome, the orientation is exactly the same as in the indigo EnvMap, so rotating the scene is quite easy here and you have still a live preview

Yeah, you gotta love those hidden features of Indigo. Here are some other lesser known ones:
Code: Select all
<noise_free_in_one_minue>true</noise_free_in_one_minute>
<use_way_less_memory>true</use_way_less_memory>
<quit_crashing>true</quit_crashing>
<BbB_mode>true</BbB_mode>
(sorry BbB...spoiled your secret)

anyone want to save me some time and tell me which test scene this is located in?

go to Ono's 1.1.15 release post and see the 'background testscenes zip'
