How Do You Get This to Work: iRadiance HDR Resources - Parks and Rec Vol 1

Fauvist

I click on it, and nothing happens. All the other HDRIs I have, you click on the one you want and hit Render and you get a scene.  What do I have to do with this to get it to work?  https://www.daz3d.com/iradiance-hdr-resources-parks-and-rec-vol-1

Thanks

Is that a pre-Iray product? If I remember, you have to delete the dome meant for 3Delight and just plug the HDRI image in the correct spot.

Looks like it's a sort of merchant resource pack, without presets.  I guess you can just load the HDRIs into the Environment Map slot.

It mentions Uber Surface which is a 3Delight shader.

I don't click and load any settings 

I just whack the HDRi, EXR or tiff files onto my environment dome and use the default or my own settings

Don't use the environments or shaders tab. The Render Settings tab will load the HDRI and apply dome rotation of 0 degrees. The other preset: Rotation options will just rotate the dome - you can do that also manually in the render settings->Environments. Tone Mapping and White balance will change the related areas in the render settings as well. The presets kind of gives you a visual clue e.g. how the white balance is affected.

It is the IRAY version.

"I just whack the HDRI, EXR or Tiff files onto my environment dome" and "the Render Settings tab will load the HDRI" sound wonderful.

I look at the Render Settings tab, and I see an Environment Map slot with the instructions "Choose Map".  So, where is the map?  What is the name of the map?  With other HDRI products I've purchased I click on the icon of a beach, and it loads the beach into the Environment Map slot.  I have probably hundreds of HDRIs at this point.  If it doesn't load when I click on the icon, how am I supposed to find it?

on my Mac, the file path is /Users/Shared/My DAZ 3D Library/Light Presets/DimensionTheory/iRadiance/Merchant Resources. But you can just double click on any of the spheres in the upper part of the Render Settings section of the product
