You know how lots of people got Vue 5 and tried all kinds of crazy images for HDRI image based lighting? I had the inspiration to try a large all black image with a big white spot on it. I think the results are very interesting. Once you have the map loaded up for IBL, you can highlight everything in your picture including the camera and spin it to change the position of the light. You cant effectively change the image position so just spin everything in your scene. Now the only thing to work out is how you have to fill the scene from top to bottom for this to work otherwise you see the image map in the background and I dont want to see the image map since it is a black void with a big white spot on one end. Let me know if you have any solutions or if this is something you have known about for months, or if it is something you are trying.
