The real question is where have U bean? I'm still on the corel chat room every night (while you're sleeping there on the other side of the pond). Actually, I've been setting up a monthly challenge for the Poser forum similar to what AgentSmith does here. We're not far off from going live with it. By the way, Agent, thanks for the challenge you do here. I stole a lot of ideas from the system you perfected. As for this thread, lots of good ideas here. Well worth looking at the suggestions. The panoramas would work better inside a cylinder than a cone. I guess that's where the hdri issues would be a problem. QTVR works well too, but I don't think you can really get full spherical images with that either. I think the box idea works if you do 6 renders with 6 camera positions, but to convert that to spherical sounds problematic. I didn't read all the tuts above so if I sound like hot air then just point me towards a balloon and send me around the world for the next 80 days.
