I forgot to mention that making the sphere bigger really doesn't make it bigger, if you know what I mean. And therefore making it smaller doesn't really do that either.
Moving the sphere can bring more into view, but it is distorted. But I guess distorted clouds are OK.
When I really want to control the background, I don't use the sphere for the background. I use the sphere for lighting and reflections, sure. But for behind a figure's head, I put a square with whatever I want exactly mounted on that square. Doesn't have to match the sphere, because the camera will not directly see both.
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)
