I'm having an issue getting my HDRI image rendering to Mplay or disk With Karma. The image envlight does not show the background. but the Karma render view does. Is there a setting I'm missing in karma to rend to disk?

There is no environment light for karma. It's called a dome light. The environment light object is for mantra/legacy rendering.

It's the same setting for Mantra and Karma since you are using Karma ROP and therefore internally Scene Import LOP

the Scene Import translator plugins take care of creating corresponding properties for Karma (maybe not all, but renderlightgeo works for me)

Sorry it took so long to reply. I got stuck in the Philippines for work a week longer then I had planed. Check marking render light geometry worked great. Sorry about that @jsmack You said that the first time and I was thinking render light in view port. When @tamte said it again it hit me to look again.

Thanks all for the support
