quote]Just to amuse myself, not that you'd really want to do this, but guess how many lights were used in this scene?

Ready?

ZERO.

There are no lights. Just the environment sphere.

It would look better if the image I used was HDR, but for the type of scene I wanted there weren't any.
  QUESTIONS FOR bagginsbil: ON the use of your environment sphere with LDR versus HDR images.  Here's a thread at DAZ that discusses the use of your sphere: http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?p=1955121#1955121
It points out that I, for example, could make my own HDR image using your Gen IBL-IBL Generator. In Poser PRO, this could be saved as an HDR but, in Poser 7, this would produce an LDR IBL, not an HDR IBL, image. QUESTION 1: What about in Poser 8: could I save in HDR IBL  format? Now, I also notice that your environment sphere can use those equirectangular or "panoramic" images. I believe those are in LDR format. So, QUESTION 2: Would I need to use the Gen IBL-IBL Generator workaround to get the benefits of HDR if I used your environment sphere?
