Quote - Would involve more postwork of the panorama texture... but would save a lot of render time I expect? Plus some maths to calculate the angles / proportions to render the high res portion at, so that it is a tile on the surface of the total sphere...
I really don't think that is worth the effort.
In my last post I link to a render where the EnvSphere and the background rectangle had no match at all, other than they were both photographed in daylight outdoors on earth, from the air.
You can't see edge reflections clearly enough to pick out where one background ended and the other began.
The EnvSphere was the same kite photo as the previous image I linked to.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
