Except, it may be useful to do just that in some circumstances. These are crops from a couple of renders, same setup for each (car, figure, env sphere), the only difference being the use of IBL with AO set at 2.0 on the second image. That seemed to have improved the shadows on the face.
That there is a difference is shown on the right. If this is a bug, it could be a useful one!
Huh. You're right. I did not do a detailed test until now. Despite my own advice to the contrary, I trusted my eyes, and what I thought I saw was that IBL had no impact when the ESphere was present.
So I just did an experiment. I set up an IBL with only green in it. I set up an EnvSphere with only red in it. I rendered some white props.
With only the IBL, everything is a pure shade of green.
With only the EnvSphere, everything is a pure shade of red.
With both, it looks pure red, but there is a tiny bit of green in it!!!!!!
This is a bug. Don't count on it in the future.
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)
