Can somebody please explain how to use an environment texture. I see the create tab has an environment material, but after creating it, I'm not too sure on what to do with it. ( how to get it to light my scene )
Thanks
Peter

Are you using Maya?
If so, when you create a shiny material ligh a Phong , plug into the Reflection slot one of those Envirement Textures you found. If you have one picture you want to use it as reflection, just try the Spherical one, then plug your picture in the Image attribute of that last one. Then go back to your material and tweak the reflections there.
Good luck.
