Looks spherical to me, look at the distortion in the floor.

To the devs: Thank you! This is a huge feature for me. Love all the work you have been doing. All these seemingly small changes after the 1.0 release are really improving Octane. Really looking forward to using this and other improvements in the future :D

Cylindrical: If you open the still in PS then apply filter translation, you will be able to display the image without seam whatever horizontal value you set.
You will have seam if you change the Up and down value…

Now if we could get some nice cloud renders in Octane, we could be making ourselves some really nice HDRI skies for ourselves.

The rendered image displays the entire sphere, it uses equidistant cylindrical projection, aka lat-lon projection (the same projection is used for environment maps in Octane).
