"Playing with the demo and the free hdr's I find some of the images are warped. Is there some setting to fix that?"

Don't forget... some HDRI's are created as angular maps (light probes), some are spherical, cubic, mirrored ball, longitude/latitude, etc.

I don't know if Vue allows you to manually set up the HDR image in the format it's intended for, or if it tries to automatically match the HDR to the correct output, but "distortion" usually occurs when you're using the "wrong" type of HDRI format, or after having unwrapped a mirrored ball HDRI (for example) to longitude/latitude... you might end up with "pole distortion" when it's mapped to your environment.

In most other programs, the first thing you will need to do is convert the HDR image into something you can wrap around your scene. In HDRShop, you do this by converting the HDR image from an angular map to longitude/latitude format. I'm not sure how Vue deals with this though. Message edited on: 11/07/2004 14:33
