Lighting settings missing in render tab *update*

In the Render settings tab my lighting, dome, etc settings section have dissapeared and the smart content presets no longer work for brightness, etc.

Any idea how to get those back?

The site is not letting me upload a screenshot right now for some reason so here is a link showing the render tab: http://bit.ly/3WQZ9Cs

Update: I found a sun dial in the smart content which adds back in the environment lighting controls when added to the scene but a new scene still doesn't have it automatically like it used to.

    Daz changed things several versions ago to make the Tone Mapping and Environment be nodes in the Scene. You can add those nodes from the Create menu. Or, if you start an Iray render, they will get added for you, I think. Then the settings will appear in your Render Settings tab. I never heard an explanation about why the change was made.

    Thank you barbult for reminding me of the nodes. That explains why the sun dial adds it back into the scene since the nodes are part of that file.

    I'll have to look into it more.

    I use a startup scene that includes the nodes and my preferred Render Settings values. You can specify a startup scene in DS Preferences.

    That works. Thank you for your help!
