I'll make a sample scene tomorrow, only thing I know left to check when it's rendering black: there needs to be a default light in the scene, intensity 0

btw generally more low res (like 1024*512) environment maps work better for lighting

you need a light with intensity set to zero i think.

Gosh... the hoops you have to jump through for this stuff...

Gentlemen, it is an honour, as always!
Thanks,

btw, both geo shaders work (of course).

IBL's quite nice and fast, from what I see here! Really, how can Autodesk let such a nice feature drop under the table...?

good to hear. how does it do compared to the user_ibl_env?
user_ibl_env seems to be more modern (introduced 3 versions after the environment mode)
