Cath, really, you need to start paying attention to what I say. I have attached a screen shot showing that I said exactly that on Sep 26. You were quiet that day, because you were busy building the new sphere that I finally convinced you was needed. If you will recall, I told you I would not discuss lighting until everyone agreed with and demonstrated they fully understand the compass, and photographic images, from inside a sphere. 

And yet - I did tell everyone how to match the IBL. :biggrin:

Now be a good Poser artist, and show me a real panorama, with words in it, that has directions we're all familiar with, such as new york, rendered inside YOUR sphere. Render it with U_Scale = -1 and also with U_Scale = 1.

If you aren't convinced, then I insist you build a compass like I did, take your camera outside, have 4 friends hold up signs indicating the four directions, take a panoramic photo, and show it inside your sphere. Show it with U_Scale = 1, and with U_Scale = -1. I guarantee you, that U_Scale = 1 will be backward on your sphere, and on the Poser sphere.

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)
