OK I've got this great job coming up and I'd very much like to render it
using hdri... but having read up on this technique in the documentation I
still have loads of questions... I get the whole imf_copy thing so that's
fine and as long as I'm working with a HDR image that has been unwrapped
into a spherical projection I get very nice renders... so at the risk of
sounding like a complete idiot I'd like to ask how exactly you guys use the
HDR images that are shot from a chrome ball... How do you map them into your
environment? How do you go about unwrapping a chrome ball image to be mapped
spherically?
Thanks in advance.
