problem with floatimage texture envornment: no colors !

[vipvip]

When i apply a floatimage ( jpeg) as texture envornment, this render a black and white picture ( the envornment is not colored and render as BW pict. ) ?
(Before, with older works, i did it many time, and it was colored... ).

Did i miss something ? is it a bug or what ?

Thanks for your help

(gtx470 + nvidia280.26 + octane 2.52 -> it does the same with older version)

...it's because a "floatimage" means a greyscale texture (e.g. for bumpmaps). rgb textures are called just "image"

sorry - i think i just misunderstood what you meant, so scratch that

i did a quick test to try that and connected a floatimage to the enviroment texture input, and got a colored output. nvidia driver version 275.33, octane 2.52. to me it looks like if there were a lot complaints lately, all regarding 280 driver versions... maybe there is something broken with them? what if you try to go back to 275.33? never had any problems with them, so i did'nt see a reason to update...

Thanks for you answer.

OK you where right: "floatimage" is only BW picture, but "image " is colored one...
I was very tired ( just remplaced the mother board during journey and make tests late in the night )

Now it works ( as before ... )

Thanks again
