[Carrara]How to shift an HDRI map in horizontal direction? - Polyloop

Singular3D · 30th December 2007, 13:05

Hi all,

Love to use HDRI maps with Carrara. Unfortunately they cannot be shifted in horizontal direction, or did I miss something? The rotate slider works in vertical direction (in 90° steps) and there are 2 checkboxes for flipping the image. Seems I have to rotate the whole scene, to change the lighting from the HDRI map. Any hint?

Thanks in advance

thats the only way I know to do it.
I generally group my whole scene, with the rendering camera. then I switch to the directors camera, and rotate the grouped scene with camera to get the proper lighting.

I was afraid, that this might be the only answer. Seems like a missing feature to me. Thanks anyway.
