In the 3dsmax environment slot click and select the texture environment node and then drag and drop from slot to create an instance in the material editor.
That's it, change where it says value to texture and then locate your HDRI.

Hello MaTtY631990,

thx now it works!

this time with texture environment

i have it rendered with pathtracing but it took a long time and it is still noisly
any other idea how to render or maybe my settings are wrong?

what about pmc maybe better results?

Really like the image but pmc takes more time than path tracing, i think noise will still there with white surface i dont know why but with textures it doesnt happend. We need to wait until a new release i think, try let the image rendering to 64000 max samples noise will reduce little bit but the grainy efect it still there.

Try putting a sky portal in the window, see TUTORIAL/DIAGRAM: How Portals work and how to use them.

Hello,

this time with portal
samples 4200 rendertime 1 hour~ (much better)
good result for 1 hour and only 4200 samples

the first rendering 20.000 ~ samples rendertime 5 hour~ (noisly)

thx a lot for you comment roeland, it is really easy to use

you should try rendering 2x-4x the final size with less maxsamples and then scale down.

The result is quicker and better.
