Quote - Any tips as to how we should set up the skydome and the lights for said skydome? ;) I smell an update to the user guide...lol.

Funny - I was going to mention that :-)

I haven't worked out what's best yet - I expect you guys'll beat me to it.

Seems to me the simplest approach will be best:

Load an image onto the skydome, and make a single Infinite light for the scene.

Place the Infinite light so that is is shining onto the scene from the same place sun in the skydome image appears to be

In Pose2Lux, apply the Skydome material to the skydome, and leave the Infinite light as it is, except for putting it into a group of its own.

Render, and change the gain of the sun to suit your needs. Set it to 'Black body temperature' and make it match the skydome lighting.

That's what I'd do for starters, but there may be some mileage in seeing if you can get better results by setting the Infinite light as a Sun. I haven't ried that yet.
