How to use HDR images in Vray
General concept
This tutorial assumes you have a basic Vray and 3DSMax knowledge, and an official Vray copy. I used version 1.47.03 while making the tutorial.
You have to be able to create vraymaterials, load maps in the material editor, open the render settings dialog etc... This tutorial also uses of vray GI, I will not explain these settings in this tutorial. Check out the other tutorials on my site for that.

When using the vray skylight option, you need to enable GI to make it visible. The sklight is treated as first bounce GI light, it's not a direct light as for example a max spotlight or vray area light.
So open the Indirect Illumination rollout and enable GI ('On' checkbox)...
