Help with HDRI lighting with White Background

Hello,

I’m a bit late on this topic, but there is a way to do that without using a sphere.

Within Cycles engine, load your environment texture and apply a Verge3D PBR node to your object, play with the metallic and roughness sliders so this object can reflect the environment, switch to Verge3D engine and set the horizon color as you wish.

That’s all.

If you don’t want this texture to display as a background on your web page, don’t load it in the environment tab and don’t select the RealSky option in the World tab.

where is the environment tab? I can’t find it either on cycles render or verge3D. It seems your method not working on shader with environment reflection but without environment background.

You can just as usual set HDR as background and creat a big white sphere with inverted normals around your objescts and set self-illumination on it to 100. So you will have reflections from HDR but will see only white sphere around.

This method can’t deal with background with complicated pattern. Is there any way to achieve a transparent background in PBRshader. (keep the environment picture reflection)

I would like having an object with PBRshader and lighted up by a panorama image. When I publish it on web, I can get rid of the panorama world background. The result is a nice lighting model with transparent world background.

Yes, I undestand. For now it’s impossible for BPR shader it’s not a trivial task. We added this to our todo list but I think it can be supported only after few month.
