Hi,
How can I set a bakground image using spherical proyection?
And it is possible have a hdr image loaded in the enviroment node but only as background and not lighting?

Hello, mrfactory,

I got corrected by Calus .. yes, you can try to connect the hdr texture in sky texture pin, check the "Backplate" in the visible environment.
Kind Regards

If you already have a sunsky node for lighting, you need to use a second "sunsky" node (created from hypershade) and set it as "visible" kind and as "backplate".
