Hi. Is it possible to use more than one hdri? I can only seem to use hdri and sky. Redshift allowed me to use multiple hdri domes.

Hi,
in OctaneRender you can have a Primary Environment node, and add a secondary Visible Environment node, to handle the illumination with the Primary node, and handle Backplate, Reflections, and Refractions with the Visible node.

Yes, but wouldn't it be great if you could have multiple visible environments, enabling the user to use one for reflection/refraction and another for backplate...

Ah I see. I wanted to mix the lighting of the two hdri's. Is there a way to work around this? Maybe a mix node?
