Is it better to use Cubic Environment (vertical cross) format converted to Latitude/Longitude format for vue hdri as opposed to Spherical or Spherical converted to Latitude/Longitude format? My results although the lighting isn't right show this to be true. Does anyone agree? The 3rd picture is warped the least. Is the format and the conversions of formats the reason?

Here is hdri I made with my light probe. It has a lot of problems but my probe is no good. I'm thinking about buying a new probe from this site.

hehe same problems here, well done by the way, keep it up, HDR is very important, I think, so we need as much info as possible.
