Skydomes are tricky ... very tricky. It doesn't help that there are a gadzillion of them out there, all with different UV mappings'n'stuff. Some have changed the internal name of the rotation dials too, which means Pose2Lux can't find out which bit of the sky to show.

I have it working with BB's free hemisphere. That works just grand. I think I might have to limit Pose2Lux's support to just BB's hemisphere or dome, or any other skydome with matching UV implementation.

Here is a test render from version 0.8.6 (not uploaded yet) showing the output from a scene using BB's hemi. The lighting isn't great because the sky map is a JPG, but you get the idea. Pose2Lux will work better with an HDR image attached to the hemi, of course.
