This with directx, or opengl? As was stated multiple times in jeffs workblog, you need a minimum of a skylight to have ibl, and at time of writing, saving the files is dx only. (working on fixing that)

https://github.com/Areloch/Torque3D/ working branch at time of writing. (may end up moving that to a fork on https://github.com/Torque3D/Torque3D, and from a quick look, already did so as of a couple days back). That'd be where most of those 'resolved' tags came from. according to the discord pinned...

Another case of 'we'd like to look into' getting whisper-translated to 'we are', I'm afraid. One of the reasons I at least stick to live chats about possibilities and leave forums for the realm of 'so here's where we're at on this/what we've prototyped enough to say, yeah, we'll probably do'
