Over and over we go. I said that we'd discuss the lighting when you agreed how the panorama is supposed to be. You have not once said, yes it is North->East->South->West, but instead say that I switched North and South, or I got the lighting reversed, which means we don't agree yet.

And, yes, you must reverse the IBL probe as well. Look this is killling me. I'm waiting and waiting for everybody to catch up to me so I can show you the next cool thing.

I have a shader node setup that wil let you use the same panoramic image for your ball and your IBL probe. You do not need to use HDRSHOP to make an angular map or any such nonsense. My shader will let you use ONE IMAGE, and it will let you ROTATE IT in real time any way you want. This, of course, means that you no longer have to just keep the lighting direction the photographer chose. You can spin the environment as you like.

Nobody else has this for Poser. It is a breakthrough. You want it.

But I'm not going to show it to anybody until everybody understands these directional issues accurately.
