Hi,

I'm new to all this, so any help would be appriciated.

Inside lightwave I render images with the regualr 4:3 apect ratio. so 640x480 or 320x240 and so on.

In bryce I have created a 360 degree panormaic animation of a sky. I want to use it insdie lightwave as the backdrop....Everything works fine, the animation plays and what not..BUT.... the background seems to be a little streched....and I need it to be exactly round and porportioned exactly like the original (inside bryce).

(Using the Texture Environemnt plugin)...

At what resolution should I create my panormaic 360 animations so that they look the same in a lightwave render as in bryce when rendering at a 4:3 aspect ratio?

My normal line of thinking was that well..there are 4 sides.... so I made it 4 times the size of 1 frame so 1280x960 or something.
But well its streched..and I understand why but I can't seem to understand how to make it so that it isn't stretched.

Any help would be appriciated!

Tom
