Hi All,
Got a specific need to have two different HDRI setups in a scene for two different objects. Is there a way to do light linking or exclusion with those?

Thanks!

Thanks Aoktar--but am I able to assign a light ID to the HDRI Environment Tag?

Ah, but there’s no way to have two different environment lights affect two different objects separately, is there?

Hi crowellster,
you could try with a big sphere surrounding the scene, with inverted normals, with emissive texture material, and specific ID, to be able to exclude it from other objects, except the one you need.

Thanks Beppe! That's the move! Luckily I just need a flat white ambient light for my second object, so that's super simple. Thanks!
