Well, what I know I can do is make a cylindrical true HDR pano that might ignore the sky and the ground a little. So I'm not sure what that means for your render if you try to look upwards. The perfect top won't align. And the exact straight down wouldn't either.
I've looked at doing this for years now, and somehow I always get caught up on this same issue. So once I get one made, I'll send it to you Pete and Roger. You guys can hopefully tell me what was right or wrong about it. I won't get to this imediately though I don't think. Its pretty gloomy out right now.

could be good as gloomy means muted shadows

nice shots! how do you like photomatix? i haven't spent any $$ on hdr software yet. need to save up for lightroom.
here are a few quick and dirty handheld panos, shot raw. i used hugin to stitch them together:
west side market, cleveland, ohio by mbeganyi, on Flickr
cle-pano by mbeganyi, on Flickr
(i have another version of both with a bit more PP done... that bridge scene would have helped to shoot multiple exposures, but these were done with a 4 year old running around...)i have tried a few sterogrpahic projections, but the subject matter caused me trouble (on a bridge...).
here's a good flickr tutorial:
HDR Stereographic Tutorial Final Image
This is the final output of the handheld equirectangular panorama tutorial here. It is a stereographic projection of this equirectangular panorama. Much better viewed here

would love to shoot site photos for modeling and do a spherical - but haven't stepped up to getting a tripod head yet. would be nice, but i need to get some better camera equipment first...

So I've done lots of regular panoramas, using photoshop to stitch them together. I've shot lots of HDR images. I think I just don't get the rendering process or workflow. So in the renderer, you use an hdr 360 pano for the lighting, and then do you use that same image for the background? Or is it a nice looking processed jpeg that you use for the background plate?
Or do you normally not even render with a background image and does the model just get added to video footage in post or something?
I just feel like there are some workflow issues I don't understand, or maybe there are so many different ways to do it I'm having a hard time understanding it all. Anyhow, for now I'll just try to make a 360 cylindrical full hdr pano. That I can do.

@David_H - The reason I didn't call it "bracketing" is because that is much fancier photographer jargon than I'm comfortable with

Jargon . . .MOI???
I wouldn't know an F-stop from F Troop. . . .

But I do and promise that after this house purchase lunacy of mine I will create a tutorial on the subject of panoramas and HDRIs.

Solo, you forgot one thing about the most interesting man.
He uses the women's bathroom so lesser men will not peek and feel inferior.

chris, this isn't directed at you, as i like to play around with hdr a bit too (nowhere near as nice as some of your results...), but i found it funny (and i'm not a photographer at all...)

Wow, that's remarkably accurate!
I'm directly above the "T" in Time. In the HDR hole for a little, in the flickr, photoshop world, just past gearfaggotry (though I'm too poor to really enter into that), and I'm currently wishing I could get to the one exposure per motive. It really is accurate.

yeah, my budget (mainly because i spend too much on bicycles and camping gear) keeps me out of the gearfaggotry camp -
although i'm saving my pennies for something a bit more versatile than my wee canon g12.i do miss my old nikon film slr (and a few lenses) from grad school. not sure where it ended up - parents, brothers place, donation bin... but the immediacy of digital will keep me from digging out a film camera. (and also the lack of wanting to setup a darkroom in my basement - i can still smell the room from the only photo class i took).
i'm interested in the hdr stuff simply to take better architectural photos of projects i work on. i'm trying to keep them from getting overdone, but have a lot to learn.

That chart scares the crap out of me as I am well past the center of the time line and it looks like death is the only event left.
