Oh - I forgot one thing. Because the photo is only a partial panorama, intended for a background, when you wrap it around the e-sphere, left and right get swapped. For most photos this won't matter. But if there is significant differences in the environment left versus right, you might notice this in the lighting. To solve this, when you load the photo on the e-sphere, set U_Scale = -1 to swap left and right.
I didn't bother doing that for the above demos since there's not any obvious difference from one side to the other.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
