I just know I'm gonna regret asking this, but I don;t see why there's such a fuss about this mapping an image onto a sphere, business.
I mean all I see reflected is the surface the "heavy metal" block is sitting on. And all I see in the bazzewood image is the surroundings, i.e. the objects that are there next to the ball.
Okay so with the bicycle, you see a roof that isn't really there - that one I get. But with the others, wouldn't you get those reflections anyway, with or without the HDRI thingie?
Please explain to the blind fool over here in the corner.
