:biggrin:  I am pretty familer with HDR from my own photography research, but of course will dig even further now that this can be used in Poser.   I did notice the interesting look when I loaded the full lattitude hdr & not the lightprobe into the IBL light...

It has a nice realistic blend of light, but is this the correct light since it was not an angular map/lightprobe?  I was wondering if Poser can now handle hdr files other than angular maps (like lat/long, or vertical cross cube format)  I will load the same latitude hdr in Vue & compare.
