btw--

thoughts on the following and its effects:

1. make a scene, which includes both the envirosphere, a ground object, and some other objects.

2. make a fresh n' tasty IBL probe image from all this.

3. put a character in the scene.

4. create a new IBL light w/ the map you just created.  keep, but perhaps adjust your old lights.

5. do some renders.

i'm imagining that what this will do is add a sort of a radiosity lighting effect, just as if the environmental lights were bouncing/reflecting off objects in the scene and providing diffuse, coloured lighting onto the character.

seem right?  and thought about the usefulness of this method>?
i'm gunna do some tests and see if i can get neat results.
