Cath - you are absolutely correct about the sphere mapping problems. That is why i do not want to use that. I want to use an environment sphere around the whole scene. Then I can use real reflection with no problems.
That is the point of this exercise - how to use a real environment sphere, instead of the Sphere_Map node. It would be great if we had a properly UV mapped sphere to do that with.
But please please do your renders from inside the sphere. Because to use an environment map, you must be inside it, and that changes everything.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
