Never understood exactly how Poser manage the image used as a light probe.
Is the center of the image positioned on the TOP of the "sphere" used for calculating the light? But usually the probes I have seen are taken horizontally... for example the one shown in the second post has a wall and a desktop in its center, not a ceiling. Then what?
Directly related: I have read in some tutorials (i.e. "Practical Poser 7", page 69, point 6) that in the case of an IBL, the position of the light indicator is not important. That seems to indicate that the position of the "dome" is fixed. But if I move the indicator around the scene, the preview light DOES change. Is this only a preview matter (meaning that actually in the final render the results are indipendent from the indicator position) or moving the indicator actually turns the "dome", or the "sphere", or what-is-its-name?
