Attached Link: SPHERE FOR PANORAMIC HDRI MAPS

DOWNLOAD ABOVE

you welcome!!  renderteam!

and back to the track!!
I did spend some time and created for you the perfect sphere .. download the files, install, you will find the sphere in the primitives under prop section..
in the textures you find very small jpg of the map, also a pz3 scene, you need to resize the ball to 1000 or more and replace the small map with a new HDR or LDR map and done..

you remember my last product it was exactly the way you do that above, real reflections so it is old school for me already, i sold it 2 years ago lol
but now I have better sphere with correct everything, it will cover 360 degrees of the map without any problems.. not matter from inside or outside

ah if you render the new map set the diffuse to black.. forgot to do that..
