HDRI dome to sphere

first question: is there a way to make the dome (in hdri backdrop) into a sphere. i try swapping out the the dome to a sphere and nothing happens
thanks for any help.

second question: is there a subforum for hdri it seems like there should be one.

I take it back, you can apply the hdr material to anything, if it’s written in a particular way.

This tutorial shows a hdr applied to a sphere

This works because the UVs are basically ignored and what you see is a projection in world space.

But, no, you can’t just change the dome to a sphere in the details panel :wink:
