how to add sky without effecting the lighting in scene

[gomeslindsay]

hey,

I am using an HDRI on my scene which is sort of like a spot light that's perfectly lighting my scene at the same time I want to add a sky to my scene without having to effect the lighting on my scene how would I go about that

[gomeslindsay]

Also how do I scale the sky to fit perfect when rendering

atm it enlarges it and pixelates the sky

Disable diffuse, etc (not camera) contribution in the Arnold Sky.

Could it be the resolution of the HDR is not high enough?

You could increase the size of the resolution of the Arnold Sky.

[gomeslindsay]

the HDRi is 4k and resolution is set to 1000

[gomeslindsay]

thank you so much

What happens when you increase the Arnold Sky resolution?
