Hi! I posted a quick note in your Daz thread that I'm overwhelmed and need to come back to this later. I'm working on Poser SR1 and other stuff.
Quick answers, though:
No you can't generate HDR images from Poser 7 or 8. You can only use them as input.
The equirectangular format used by my EnvSphere does not have to be LDR - there are HDR images like that too. The equirectangular image mapping layout is a UV layout template shape, not an LDR/HDR issue.
You do not need GenIBL to use the EnvSphere at all, in any version of Poser. In Poser 8, with IDL, you don't even need a matching IBL. However, to create a matching HDR IBL for Poser 7 (which lacks IDL) you could use HDRSHOP to make an HDR IBL from your HDR panoramic equirectangular image.
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)
