yep does help, but what about the ground tho i have seen some pics like this where theres just at bottom, in the park jpg theres gravel/stones

can ya give me some examples of what kind of pics i need to take and then perhaps how i assemble them in PS cs2 please

yeah i can do the panaramic version, but when i import the pictore in its zoomed into a small part of the pic, looks all bent and grainy and theres no floor if you know what i mean, i need a prog that will create the same pics or hdri like the park jpg

like this one

k got that, and does seem to do the effect i need, but still when loading into vue as  environment the zoomed up effect, what am i missing or is it not possible at all, ive read that normal pics are not best to use because vue cant tell difference between an actual light source and a piece of paper as theres not enough info in the picture, something like that, so a hdri has to be created from about 3 dif pics of dif exposures, ok ive done that and merged them as hdri but still zoomed weird effect.

heeelp?

ive tried that but when a pic loads no matter what size, it renders zoomed up and/or stretched vertically is there a vim directory where i can download some or a prog that will make vim for me from my pics

ive got that vim file of the park from renderosity and that works fine its a jpeg thats about 80 megs that works perfect but others ive tried including the sphere types are just zoomed in and look naff

is there a prog that will convert my pics to hdri files
