kawecki,

That is exactly what I am saying, that I use one slice of the skydome, a 45 degree section of it, for a seperate background plane to the actual shot, and the rest of the skydome is only there for reflections and global illumination, etc.

The slice of the skydome has a high resolution texture, and the rest of the skydome has a low resolution texture.
