Update on what is happening. It works perfectly in Caarara, but when I use HDRShop to convert it to a light probe - it acts as directional light in Bryce 6 - what gives? The thing is just pure white light with no directional source and Bryce casts a shadow and sidelights the object. In Carrara the same HDR casts light straight down like it is supposed to and makes a nice contact shadow. Any ideas why B6 is doing this with a directionless light source?? Scott
