Thank you for this! I was actually looking for some spherical maps as a reference for a HDRI dome I am working on. These look great, I need to remember to use Bryce to generate sky maps.

Thank you *very* much. I am a complete beginner, and you totally made my day with this tutorial, very clear, just perfect! And with the skies, too. Now the next thing I'll have to find out is how to make the skies themselves. You used Bryce, which I only just got myself thanks to DAZ's March Madness, so I will see what I can find in that direction, but with what I got from this tutorial I'm already set for a while: invaluable stuff.

got all 3 a week ago, all the dang physics has my head reeling. now if it was chemistry or physiology, but physics, I never took, hope I can figure this stuff out. I have only a year and a half experience with PaintDotNet and a few months with PS7, so I'm WAY outa my league! will peruse these tuts in my spare time, see if I can't get a grip. thanx for posting...

The light-bouncing-around part is just to explain why what you're doing is necessary to getting realistic sunlight using a few simple (and fast-rendering) Distant Lights. You don't need to understand it -- just following the directions should get you easy-to-use sunshine. Let me know anything you have trouble with.
