DimensionTheory HDRI's - Render Issues

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Hey everyone,

Today I've purchased two HDRI sets from the same vendor.  The sets are:

Both products are by DimensionTheory.

Ok, I'm a little perplexed. I see the environments, and I see the corresponding light sets. (ie Urban Storm 1 & Urban Storm 1 Lights).  I load the environment and it's lights, hit render and..... BLACK SCREEN.

The same thing happens with the other set - Rain City Chicago.  Load up the environment, lights. Black screen!

Every other HDRI scene I load works perfectly out of the box.  I just can't get any scene from either of these products to render!  I have tried tweaking the environment intensity but this has no effect.

This is also true wether I try to render in IRAY (my default) or if I switch over to 3DL. (I'm not even 100% sure HDRI's are affected by this!)

Anyone who can help would be much appreciated. Otherwise I just spent a bunch of money on some expensive black screens! lol

    Urban Storm is older so there may be some differences, especiaily since it was released before iRay and has a skydome. http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/18347/start

    I'm interested in this as well. I took a glance at the readmes, but they only tell you were to locate the product in DAZ studio. They don't say anything about how to use the product.

    This will help... make sure Draw Dome is enabled...

    Rain City Chicago is generally like every other HDRI when used with Iray. Double click the view and resolution you want. Make sure Draw Dome is ON in Render Settings>Environment. Unlike most other HDRIs, However, having Draw Dome off will give a black background instead of the transparent background that is usually the case with Draw Dome Off. Any objects in the sceme will still be illuminated.
