That is interesting. It seems like you can add lights by adding spots on the image map, huh?

I am having trouble uploading images here, but just tried a quick example and got pretty good results. Thanks for the heads up tlaloc321, and for the kind words in your IM

You should be able to use a different image for your backdrop. Am I wrong?

That is the thing, as far as I can tell (and I have read this on the net as well) when you set up Vue 5 to do an IBL thing with either Global Illumination or Global Radiosity you are stuck with that image pasted on a sphere surrounding your models. You can put a 2d plane or mountain or building or something up to block the IBL image but you can't use skies in the background. You can choose not to have Vue paste the IBL image onto the ground plane but as far as I can tell that is it. If anyone knows differently please let us know.

You could always render a sky in Vue, then use that as an alpha plane...just a thought, or as I like to do, use a real world photo :-)

now i have to admit my complete lack of knowledge - I need to go get schooled on alpha planes :( Thank you.
