Image-based lighting in 3ds max, i created a V-Ray light and selected dome as the
09 light type. i then enabled ‘Use texture’ and assigned V-Ray HdRi to the slot. We chose

nice lighting and atmosphere to the shot, and the HdRi was now visible in the relection. then a
VRaysun was added to the scene as the main light source with shadow casting.
