Need HDRI Yosimite help!
![music2u4u](https://farnsworth-prod.uc.r.appspot.com/forums/uploads/userpics/228/nD5491C66D1C9.png)
Hi all. I recently purchased both of the Yosimite HDRI prosets. I have tried them in both DS 3 and DS 4.6 and I get the same thing. I have included a screenshot of the setup in DS 4.6 with the ground planes and a single distant light. The ground planes should be invisible in the render. I have tried everything and I still get a black background in the render. I have tried adding lights, removing lights, hiding each item in the content, hiding the skydome, the grounds, the reflection dome. the only way I can get the black gone is to hide everything at once....duh!
Is there anyone who can tell me how this darn thing works? I have given out of ideas. Please help me. I so want to use this.
:-)

ok...I found the problem. I could not find the files for the setup in Daz 4.6, so I went to Daz 3 and loaded the ones in the runtime/props folder. They won't work in Daz 4.6. I finally found the ones in 4.6 under scenes/Dimension Theory/HDRProSets/Yosimite. It works great now. So, I guess it will not work in DS3. I also noticed the letters on the street sigh were backwards in DS3.
So, I have resolved this problem. I will leave this thread open for anyone else who may want help with these great HDRI files.

Yeah just had a look at your first image you posted and you didn't have Uber Envrionment 2 loaded which is what gives you the all over environment light. Glad you got it working and your last looks good.
