Hello Janedj

You can add any image as 360 degree background projected on a sphere in either the

HDR environment
or the
New Daylight environment

compare the entries in the OctaneRender for DAZ Studio (OcDS) manual

https://docs.otoy.com/?manual=manuals/p ... ment%20Tab

You will also find additional explanations in the OctaneRender standalone manual:

OcDS has also some special features like the OctaneRender Image browser (ORIB) that let's you preview HDR images and add your background image source folders as favorites:

What you currently cannot do is add a two dimensional background image that has exactly the same size as the viewport without being spherically distorted. A workaround how to set up your scene using the DAZ Studio background image in the environment pane is described here:
