time to sit down and ejoy the view

Nice angle and scene
But your background image is very low resolution and that doesn't look good

Check this topic, there's plenty links to 360 panoramas you can use for background

I am unable to get large high-res HDRIs into Octane to create such a non-blurry background, even with a 1GB card. What is your secret for doing so, Sam?

There's no secrets
I have all the HDRIs in smart ibl archive in local files and they load perfectly
I got a GTX260 896mb

ma xI got was 100mb jpg 13000x3000 ...500mb is a no go area even with 2gb of vram to use.. It might be the 32bit limit of the demo.

Maybe you need one image for the lighting and another mapped onto a plane to act as the backdrop.

What size are these images?

My 10k x 5k high-res HDRIs (the size required to not have blurry backgrounds) will not load into Octane with a 1G card.

Once interactive transformation of mapped textures inside Octane becomes reality, this will probably be the way to go.

For sure. Can't wait!

Well I used 2k and 3k latitude longitude maps without too much blurry background
