This is a simple tutorial that shows you to render chrome-textured objects into
real pictures, taken by your photo-camera.

You need:
-A camera (optional a stand)
-A Chrome-Ball
-Megapov

- Put the ball almost to the place, where you like to have the 3d-object.
- Make a Photo (best, from far away with a narrow angle. Otherwise, you see your
self..)
- Make a second picture without the ball from almost the same place (best with a
stand)
- Crop the Ball picture
- Use the cropped picture as image-map for the environment sphere
(shrinkwraped!!),"no_image"
- Use the other picture as image.map for the background-plane
(screen.inc),"no_reflection"

have fun :)

PS.: Compare the image-numbers in the scene with the numbers in the uploaded
image.

This has tripped me up, but I believe that the image of the mirror ball, and the
megapov "maptype 7" mapping are different. Paul Debevec explains it on
http://www.debevec.org/probes/


steradians. Also note that the mapping being used is different than the mapping
one observes in a mirrored ball -- the mapping we're using avoids the problems
of poor sampling near the backwards-facing directions around the circumference
of the image."

Cheers,
Edouard.

They are different indeed.

For the plain viewing effect it doesn't make a difference though. And if you
need correct mapping, "HDRShop" is what you want to go for.

That explaines a view strange things, I've had in a view scenes.

Thanx :)
