Works great. Today I tried it with Bryce as well. Actually I created the 6 BMPs in Bryce tried SkyPaint with both Bryce and Photoshop. Bryce needs the FOV (field-of-view) at 112.5 degrees and Photoshop needs the FOV at 90 degrees. You just have to label your views right (_FR.BMP, _LF.BMP, _BK.BMP, _RT.BMP, _UP.BMP and _DN.BMP). With Bryce, you change the camera view, render to disk (for all 6) then open SkyPaint. Open the front view (_FR.BMP) first and it will (or should find the other 5). In Photoshop you have to copy/paste each view. So you have to be more carefull (and know your left from your right LOL). You start by opening SkyPaint and Paint this view. Photoshop opens with a blank image. You then File - Open your 6 BMPS. Copy the _FR.BMP and paste to blank, flaten image, Filter - SkyPaint - Rotate Left, then paste _LT.BMP, flaten image etc. BTW... at any point after pasting image you can edit image with photoshop. When you have done the 4 around go back to front view then Filter- SkyPaint - Tilt Up. Copy _UP.BMP and paste to blank, flatten image. To do the bottom you have to Filter- SkyPaint - Tilt Down (twice). The first time to go from top to front and second to go from front to bottom. Finally you Filter - SkyPaint - Launch SkyPaint and it's all there.
