How many HDRI project configuration references are there? I've seen projects that instead of using spheres substitute skies. What are the benefits of this. Myself I still get the spheres showing up in my renders. Also what are the benefits of keeping other lights in the the scene? I presume to further tweak the HDRI, but would love to get the skinny on it.:beer:

You can use a Compositing Tag to make spheres invisible, "Seen by Camera", off the top of my head.

The sky object dynamically sizes itself to fit your scene, reducing the number of samples you need to get a good result.
