Yeah, that's what I'm doing now.

What I *really* need to do-- for this project and others-- is to buy a shiny
sphere, for making a 'light probe' (a non-HDRI version, as my little Canon video
camera doesn't shoot HDRI/'raw' images, unfortunately.) Then I could photograph
the surrounding 'environment' in just a single image (or two? I'm still not sure
of how light probes are made) and map that to the large no_image sphere. In the
past, I've simply stitched lots of 'normal' photos together, to get a
quasi-360-degree image for reflections. What a pain.

Many thanks!
