Quote - Now, I'm re-doing the render, but with an IBL and taking out the skydome.

Hi Robyn - I know you enjoy the techie details so you might like to know that there's no practical difference betweeen a Skydome and an IBL as far as Pose2Lux is concerned.

Skydomes themselves don't work in Luxrender, so what I do is this:

If the Skydome material is applied to an object (hopefully an actual skydome :-) then I throw away all the geometry of the object (it doesn't get rendered at all) but I do grab the image that was attached to it and make an IBL out of it. Then I rotate the IBL so that it matches what you could see on the skydome.

So in the end you only end up with an IBL regardless of whether you start with a skydome or an IBl attached to a light!

It's all smoke and mirrors :-)
