We added extra controls to the modo Environment item to make environment conversion easier.
On the top of the Environment tab you can see the INFO line. This INFO line gives quick information about the exported environment type. Type can be None, Physical Sky, Dome Sky, IBL (image map) and IBL (gradient env.). Exported environment type is the result of the layer items under the Environment item. For example Environment Material with 2 Color Gradient type will be recognized as IBL (gradient env.). If you change 2 Color Gradient to Physically-based Daylight, or you add a Maxwell Material item with Physical Sky type, the final environment will be Physical Sky. If you add a HDR image to the top of the Environment layers, it will change the exported environment type to IBL (image map).

Modo plugin provides live feedback about the HDR image -> IBL conversion in the Maxwell Properties viewport. You can read the exported IBL offset and scale values (these are calculated from the Texture Locator of the HDR image), and if the plugin can’t convert the Locator parameters perfectly, it displays warning messages with the conversion problem in the INFO field. |
