CAD Projects replied to Ryan Wynott's discussion Installing nXt with Rhino 5.0"if you installed Rhino V5 and then Uninstalled Rhino V4 this is your problem. When you uninstalled Rhino V4 you also inadvertently removed the Rhino V4 licence manager which Flamingo needs to run. (I know strange Flamingo needs a V4…"

Those steps you outlined for the background matching above are golden nuggets of advise. what a difference that makes to the render scene. (see below images) I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
in addition to…"

Scott Davidson replied to CAD Projects's discussion Problems With HDR skys / Backgrounds"Yes, I agree that a few tools to make background matching work better would be useful. We may add some in the future.
