Hi, I'm trying to figure out this new IBL thingie but just can't seem to work it out. I'd be really grateful if anyone could point me at a tutorial or two, as the one in the manual just skims over the subject. I've tried in vain to get anything vaguely realistic using the IBL/Ambient Occlusion/Raytrace combo, and I'm wondering if I've just totally misunderstood the whole concept. For example, am I wrong in thinking that I can use the same photo as my IBL source and also as the background of the render, to get the basis of a light-set that will nicely match the backdrop? I'm presuming I still have to use fill lights, etc. Anyway, any hints will be gratefully received. (Sorry if this has already been covered - the site search engine doesn't seem to be working today)
