Spherical background without using HDRI in Vray Sketchup

Dennis, aka proseduction has shared his workflow how to use images as background without using HDRI. Here is his workflow.

Denns' method:

Small explanation:

I placed a circle round my model and turns this in a cylinder. Then I deleted the planes of the cylinder. I made a plane that has the exact height as the cylinder. This is because when you apply the texture within the cylinder it will give you a small piece of the cylinder with the texture and not the whole cylinder.

Than i import the picture / panorama by file -> import -> jpg as texture and place this on the plane. The you can go to the pain bucket and apply the texture on the inside of the cylinder.
