how do I access the environment options of a project now is this a DAZ bug?

Pitmatic

Hi 

Under the latest version of daz if i load my existing projects i get i new tone mapping and enviroment options objects in the scene ok fair enough if I delete these the equivilent existing menu options in render settings vanish... how do you get them back?

Also if I create a New scene I have no enviroment or tone mapping options either as a new object or in the render menu what am i doing wrong???

thanks

so in the screenshot you can see enviroment and tonemapper are missing with a new project

But a project that was created previously has the options is this a bug or is it user error?

Don't delete the nodes. if you do, either a render/Iray preview will recreate them or you can add them manually from teh Create menu - but you will lose the previous settings.

Thank you Richard 

OK so when creating a new project I have to do a render to get the tone mapping and Enviroment options to appear is that correct?

Or create them from the menu.

OK thanks Richard but it did used to have those sections automaticaly created in previous versions so whay the change? it makes more sense for them to be there from the get go surley?  (waiting for the airplane jokes now)

Partly because there were similar settings in different places (Draw Settings and Render Settings) before. This unifies them. Its also offers at least the potential of enabling animation.

There is detail on how the changes work here https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/6200861/#Comment_6200861
