DAZ Filament not updating Environment Map in Environment Options

cain-x

Anyone else running into this issue where the Environment Map is not updating the scene in Fliament? I do have the Draw Dome on:

It does show in Iray - it just wont update in Filament. I have done this via script and manully through the parameters. Any advice appreciated.

I tried DAZ Studio 4.20 and 4.21.

It's very slow.  It will, eventually, update it.

EDIT: it seems to have got faster.  Of course "Ruins" is fast, it will provide a splurge pretty much immedately when Draw Dome is turned on:

1. Launch DAZ (4.21)
2. Swap to Filament in the viewport
3. Create a new "Environment Options Node" (otherwise it's not possible to set the dome properties).
4. Render Settings.../Draw Dome; instant splurge.
5. If you want, create a camera, put it at (0,180,0) rotation (0,0,0) and load a PolyHave 16k HDRI for the dome and set the camera to a focal length of 8mm to see what you have.

Filament does not, so far as I can tell, respect the lens type; I tried "Spherical" but nothing happened, hence the 8mm focal length (same as my favorite fisheye :-)

I tried this - no dice. Searching the forums, it does not seem like its an isolated thing.

Here's the log of the event:

This is still an issue - even in DAZ's latest video on their channel, it takes a while for the update to happen. For me, the update never happens (although I just use images jpg/png).

Will this ever be fixed?

it has to be 2:1  ratio too not just .hdr

mousing over the image thumb in parameters helps update it faster
