Best.

 

Sounds pretty straight forward thanks Paolo!

Not to further complicate the matter, but when you download from hdrlabs, several files are contained within the zip file, and as you experiment, not all work the same.

The ones with HDR or EXR data are the one's you are after for the Reality IBL slot. Yes, one will look blurry, but the other will be a nice, in focus background, while at the same time, provide a light that colors your image as if it were actually there (think a city image inthe background with all the colors of the city adding illumination to your render). That's the point of IBL's. A nice side effect is that they're stunning and fast to render with.

While figuring out how to get my sky backgrounds into a proper HDR format, I did a lot of dissecting and examination of correctly functioning IBL's. :-)
