Environment Tab missing its options

in Daz Studio Discussion

Hello DAZ Gurus;

I was hoping you all could  help me out  here...  I had a scene that I was building and I hit the Iray option in order to see how it was going to render... Well unfortunately this froze up DAZ completely as in it would not show the Iray view... So I had to close the DAZ program  completely as the program was not responding to any commands.   When I brought DAZ back up it was missing it's Environment Tab... I had to go into Window/Paynes(Tabs)/Environment in order to ask for it back as it was missing on the left side where I normally have my Content and Render options.... But when the Enviroment Tab was recreated it was an empty tab...

I've attached an image to show you all the Enviroment Tab with the missing data.  Do any of  you all know how to restore this tab properly so that all of my Environment options show up again?

    Did you try Create>New Environment Options Node ? You don't appear to have one in your scene.

    It's empty because the Type, at the top, is set to None.

    Ok, well I think I posted this  here originally by mistake.

    I think this was better posted in the Technical Questions forum right?

    But when I hit backdrop there's still not much of anything...  This can't be the solution.

    How do you even do that?

    Ok, it magically came back... Why?  I don't know but I had to reload DAZ twice before it happened... But anyway, the  problem is solved now.

    The node ButteflyFish mentioned is created when you render in Iray (or use Filament or Iray Drawstyles), as well as directly from the Create menu
