I have question to post in forum but can't find out how to post.
question:
How can I render specular highlights and use global illumination at the same time? I use a skylight with a HDRI as illumination. When I don't use GI I get nice specular highlights. I loose them when using global Illumination. Am I overlooking something?

regards
René

Hi René,

About forum permissions, please write to help at otoy dot com sharing your OTOY username, thanks.

About your question, have you tried to use the HDRI in Visible Environment?
