Would this have the same effect using three spheres in the current RC?


//THIS IS THE BACKGROUND IMAGE
sphere {<0,0,0>,1600
texture{
	pigment {
	image_map {jpeg "background.jpg" interpolate 2 map_type 1 }
	}
finish{diffuse 0 ambient 0 emission 1 specular 0 phong 0 reflection{0}}
}
rotate y*0 //enter sky rotation here in degrees
no_shadow
no_radiosity
no_reflection
hollow
}


//THIS IS THE REFLECTION
sphere {<0,0,0>,1500
texture{
	pigment {
	image_map {hdr "reflection.hdr" interpolate 2 map_type 1 }
	}
finish{diffuse 0 ambient 0 emission 1 specular 0 phong 0 reflection{0}}
}
rotate y*90 //enter sky rotation here in degrees
no_image
no_shadow
no_radiosity
hollow
}


//THIS IS THE ENVIRONMENT FOR LIGHTING
sphere {<0,0,0>,1400
texture{
	pigment {
	image_map {hdr "lighting.hdr" interpolate 2 map_type 1 }
	}
finish{diffuse 0 ambient 0 emission 1 specular 0 phong 0 reflection{0}}
}
rotate y*0 //enter sky rotation here in degrees
no_image
no_shadow
no_reflection
hollow
}



I have been using this for a few months now and it works well. Having 
this effect on the sky sphere will simplify its application.
