Hdri Reflections + background gradient help

[pavel]

Hello,

I have a scene where i want only the hdri sky reflections on my objects and a radial gradient in the background. Can someone please tell me how to do that? I have tried several methods, but no success. I created the hdri sky, i created the radial gradient material and i put the gradient on an octane texture environment object, but than i don't see the sky reflections anymore and the background is not radial.

Thank you.

pls check background_and_matte.c4d from samples

Can you be more specific please? I am new to octane. What samples? Where do i have to go to check those?

Thank you

I am using the c4d plugin, not the standalone.

Here http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=38965 and scroll down a little to the "Updated sample scenes package for 1.20"
there you find the scene "background_and_matte.c4d.

In the octane sky/ environmet tag you can place a HDR for lighting and reflection.

cheers,
