I've been researching HDRI the past few days and a question crossed my mind that I can't seem to find the answer to. Perhaps I am totally confused about how this works, but I ask someone to help me. As far as I understand, to create an HDRI image, you need a light probe and an HDRI tool. The light probe consists of a reflective sphere. My question is: Can you simulate HDRI by rendering your scene on a reflective sphere then loading that image into the HDRI tool?
