Hi!
i can see the “auto-gen reflection map” function can generate a cubic environment map. What about if I have a spherical environment map? How can I tell Houdini to read the “environment map” if it is in spherical or cubical format?

thanks you for your attention!

Hi..

You should be able to use isixpack to create environment/reflection maps from images.
You can simply go into the houdini bin folder using the command prompt/line (cmd for
windows I guess) and enter isixpack for a quick help on the usage of the tool.

The other command line tool to have a look at is iconvert.

Hope that helps..

Tom
