So today we had a class with Malcolm about how to take HDR images and using those in image-based lighting. The class was an eye opener and certainly caused me to take a u-turn in my IBL research.
In this class, unlike the VFX class I did in 3rd year, we used a camera with a fish-eye lense, tripod and a panorama tripod head instead of the chrome ball to take the images of the environment.
The quality of the images was significantly higher than the chrome ball images and the creation of the HDRs and panoramas of the environment was much easier as we used a specialised software called PT Gui.

After this, I've decided that this would be the best method for the IBLs for the Mastronauts project and this is the route that we will be taking from here on out.
