I need to know if it is possible to create spherical images of skies for use as backgrounds in interactive 3D images. I need to load the images in Max and then render them as iMove sequences, but when I try to take a vertical shot from a Bryce file it always appears black!! any suggestions?

Heya Dalz Have you tried rendering the image in the 360 panorama that is in the document set up? I've never used it myself but it might be what you are looking for, Regards Eshal

I'd go with the 360 panorama. Make sure that the clouds are set to spherical in the sky lab. Sarah

I don't tihnk it is possible in Bryce.You can render a 360 Panorama(Page setup) as Eshal said and export it as a *.mov File if it's helpfull for iMovie. I don't know Max, but maybe you can make it fit on a BIG Sphere you can use as a Sky.

You can also export the panoramas as image files.

You can do it. I output 360 pano skies to 3Dmax for a game company I do work for, set your doc set up to pano then in the main screen (bottom left arrow) set your render option to 360 as well, they render great.
Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!
