Quote - Sort of on topic.  Just got Skies of Reality; which says that it is Reality compatible.  Have zero idea how to use it in Reality.  THought it would be traditional hdr images and it's not.  Any help would be appreciated.

The "Skies" images are in EXR format rather than HDR format that the ones that come with Reality are in (e.g. the Chircahua Plaza IBL). I'm no expert, but I understand that these are just two formats that do the same thing (high dynamic range).

As for using them, I have the free Skies of Reality and the Skies and Economy, and these both work by clicking the icon which loads the RealityIBLSphere with the preview JPG applied in the viewport (this doesn't get used in Reality/Lux) while the appropriate EXR is picked up when you launch Reality and you'll see it in your Lights tab there.
