Quote - BB and here we got a problem with, the image provided above is not a mirror panorama image for sphere map , mirror don't mean flip it horizontal in this situation.. the image you have to provide for this test should be a L/L panoramic image converted from Light Probe or a mirror ball to work it correctly so it works in harmony with the Light probe light and the image from the inside sphere...
this way the image will look correctly inside and the scene would be lighted up correct too.. use the light probe from Poser7, convert to panoramic L/L map using HDRSHop map the sphere and see..
that what I am going to do tomorrow. provide a right material for the lightprobe and sphere.

 

I don't have to provide anything other than an unaltered photograph. This was my point from the beginning. I don't understand why you keep arguing. I was very clear on my words.

Using a photograph - directly - unaltered - the shows the true viewpoint from the camera as it actually happened. All the other things you talk about are not what I was talking about. 

Again, do not discuss lighting yet.

I will say again.

How to map an unaltered photograph onto your sphere? U_Scale = -1.

I have never claimed anything else. An unaltered photograph. Every time you argued you were assuming that somebody already reversed the image. This is what I'm talking about. If you go out and take a photograph, you do NOT need to edit or alter the photograph. Set U_Scale = -1.

My goodness, this is difficult.
