Re: Office Lighting.. HDRI, or... 2005-04-09 - By Andrew Turner

I never knew you could do that!!
I'm having a weird problem with it, though - I put a sphere on a plane
just to check it out. A little dark, but OK.
When I put a mirrored shader on the sphere... .the shadowing
disappears! Unless, that is... I only render the -bottom- half of the
sphere. Then the shadow returns.
What's up with that?
