 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.
