how to get hdri to show

[keops]

it wont appear, the only way to go is to make a low range copy of your hdri file, then map it to your sphere as you wan't it, and jsut before pushing the render button switch the file with the high range one.
hope it help

there is a free program called hdrview that will let you save a .bmp from a .hdr that you could use for placement and then swap in the .map file when you are ready to render.
