Will there be a support forum for this? I downloaded and installed and applied an sIBL image which worked fine but when I applied a figure Poser Pro 11 either crashed or the image rendered black! Cheers

EZDome was released with the understanding that there would be no official support as I don't have enough time to do so any more. The hope is that the Poser community will embrace EZDome and provide mutual support in accordance with its fine tradition of helping each other out.
Nevertheless, I shall endeavour to help when I can :)
The issue you describe wasn't reported at any time in during the extensive testing of EZDome so it may be a quite different cause. If you provide more details (firefly or superfly? CPU of GPU rendering? Which figure? Which sIBL set? etc) then either I or somebody else may be able help fix it.
Cheers, Snarly

First many thanks for your replies.I am sorry I have not got back sooner but I am under the eye surgeons orders to limit my computer time as I have just had cataract eye surgery.Excuse my ignorance but Snarly says in his tutorial to " set the ground to be a shadow catcher" Can anyone assist me as to what this is and where do I find it in Poser Pro 11? I have included a screen grab. As you can see my subject is dark after turning the lights off according to the tutorial.Also I cannot get my bike to touch the ground.I have rendered in Firefly and figure is V4 WM on DAZ'S BMX Bike.If any further information is required,please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

OK! I have got this far. I added some lights.Still no ground shadows. Ground shadows show in preview! Any ideas? Cheers

First. The shadow catcher described by Snarky is strictly for firefly renders. Because of the pbr nature of superfly at the moment in Poser true shadow catching is not possible. I faked it with a glass like surface that I can't quite duplicate ... but am working on. Just use SG's shadow directions for firefly renders in the meantime.
Here is your instructions.
This should help you accomplish what you want.
We sort of cross posted ... I hope this helps any way.

Extending Anthenasius' question ... what is "ldr" and how is it used? Is this referring to LOW definition?
LDR = Low dynamic range. Usually, but not necessarily, a jpg
Exact ;)

The EZSun is linked (parented) to the EZDome, so you cannot change it, you would have to rotate the dome. The reason is that the EZsun is aligned with the direction of the sun in the HDRI. If you want a sun not aligned with the dome, just turn off the EZSun and create a new infinite light and you can rotate that one at will
Many thanks for your replies. Cheers

I've tried this dome and it works beautifully on my mac without needing me to do anything extra. Thankyou very much you snarlygribbly creature you.
I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!
Thanks to another user who goes by the name of anomalaus on the Official SM forums, I have been able to implement a bug fix that enables Mac users to see the previews. You can get build 53 from the EZDome webpage, accessible by clicking on the web icon on the EZDome toolbar.
Thank you anomalaus!

need Pixie Lott rendered in the dome :)
Pixie Lott and my dome do indeed belong together, in ways that go far beyond the boundaries of this site's TOS, so I shall have to keep the details to myself, my imagination and my 256-bit AES encrypted Poser renders partition.
Free stuff @ https://poser.cobrablade.net/
Snarl! Welcome back! We talked a lot a few years back and then either you or I left haha. Now I too just started rendering again. I helped with some of your add snow to scene script testing :)
Anyway I tried the ezdome, everything loads up, but when I click Apply or apply changes the image is not added to the dome, it is left white. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
I have same error. Lights are deleted, ground is invisible, dome created. In the props they are EZInner and EZouter. When I click on Apply it says: EZSun not found.
I click on 'Add sun', I get an error message: File "E:POSEREZDomeezdome.py", line 2875, in AddSun AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'SetLightType' I rename the now created light to EZSun, again Apply: Please check valid dome exists, and everything is black...
I have been unable to replicate these errors in either Poser 10 or Poser 11, so I need some help :)
First of all, can you advise me of the specific Poser versions, including build numbers, in which these issues are manifesting?
Secondly, please detail a step by step procedure from the moment you launch Poser to the point the error occurs. You may be doing something in a different order to that which I have tried.
Thirdly, would any of you be willing to run a special debugging version of EZDome which will display diagnostic information that may help me to solve this? If so, please sitemail me here at Rendo with the subject line EZDOME DEBUGGING and provide me with an email address to which I can send a new version. I shall send a zip file with a replacement script file and ask that you copy any diagnostic output to me.
Thank you, and my apologies for the delay in responding. In my defence I shall point out that the readme file did say this script was unsupported :) Still, let's see what we can do ...

Did you skip a step? Where is the creation of the dome step? Clicking on either one of the three icons on the left side of the taskbar, in this case, the full globe is preferable. You can also hide the ground through the utility tab of EZDome. I was unable to duplicate any problems through my install. However, I noticed in the creation of the preset panel that the inner dome has an HDRI associated with it. If I am correct, it's the outer dome that provides illumination to the scene and the inner dome just the dome background, which can just be a plain jpg image. At least, that is what I get when I use sIBL. But if you don't have a dome in place, the preview background will show up white.

Step05: clicked on sphere.(third icon). I didn't skip. If I would skip, the background wouldn't be black. And EZinner and EZouter appear. The script can't assign texture for them. If I switch off the original light sources, when I click on Apply everything remain in black, the error message: EZSun not found. What is the EZSun? There isn't in my scene...
