the bigger the 360 env image is the longer it renders right?
if we use a 256X256 360 image. would we still get good results with the GI rendering?

I'm not in the testing program, but I think it pretty unlikely that the resolution of any environment sphere image has a significant impact on render time.

Correct**. Other than initial loading time** (as with any image) the # pixels should have no impact on rendering speed.

However, I noticed that Poser Pro used to drop from 100% CPU to something like 4% CPU in certain situations involving reflections of a very high-resolution EnvSphere image. I believe this was a bug. I don't see this behavior in Poser 8 at all.

this what i meant.

when i used more 4K textures then it was really slow in poser pro or poser 7. is this now faster?
