How diplomatic :biggrin: Certainly, I agree with that principal.

But I think it is neither a matter of opinion, nor topic for debate, that standing in Brooklyn looking west toward Manhattan, the Verizon building (which says "Verizon" and not "nozireV") is on your right in the North, and the Statue of Liberty is on your left in the South.

You must reverse the image in order to use it as an environment sphere.

Cath hasn't yet concurred, but I'll move on anyway. Since the HDRVFX panorama has the  brightest sky to the left of the sliding board. We all agree (I think) the sliding board is South. Given that turning left from the South we reach East, then the sunny sky must be in the south east.

Now the IBL HDR angular map that comes with Poser 7 is consistent with the panorama. Meaning that the sun is on the left. But if we use it that way, it will be on the wrong side. So flip it. Set the U_Scale to -1 on the IBL. Now since we flipped the panorama and the IBL, they are once again consistent. And since the panorama is oriented correctly everything will look right.

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)
