Want to create your own 360° azimuth / ±90° elevation environment sets from scratch?
Check out my "Make Your Own Environment Maps And Light Probes" (in Tutorials > Other Software here at Renderosity)
You need three programs, all free (or you could use various alternatives):
Terragen Classic - http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen-classic-windows-download
HDRShop Version 1 - you'll find a link here http://www.hdrlabs.com/tools/links.html (the original is no longer linked from the HDRShop site itself).
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
*also available in ShareCG, DAZ, and HiveWire3D flavours (the DeviantArt and CGBytes flavour have been discontinued).
