I was browsing the old thread about global illumination so I gave it a try with some spherical panoramas and it worked great. That animation in the link is all bryce, regular antialiasing, one minute per frame render time. I created a sphere hollowed it out, applied the panorama picture, added a radial light with no falloff, and then I just added some blobs and rendered. Default mirror material.
