I don't know how to load HDR files into Bryce 5. I think lightwave will use them. This is a jpg from the site Agentsmith posted a few threads back. http://hdri.3dweave.com/library/ These are the default 100 diffusion 19.6 ambience settings that pop up whenever you apply an image texture. looks pretty dark to me. Maybe you could explain a little better how you actually apply a hdr to a sphere in Bryce? It seame to me you have several choices. Kick the ambience up to 100 which makes the hdr image bright but still leaves anything you put inside in the dark, add lights inside, make the sphere permiable to sunlight by turning shadows off, do a true ambience render.
