I tried CC Environment while using this script and it got super crazy.

I tried CC Environment on its own….and I def don’t understand how to use it.

I’m not using a “standard” HDRI environment photo. I’m taking a bunch of street level photos, making them into one long strip, similar to a panorama (but each is a different landmark) and then zooming into the inside of the sphere close enough to where you don’t see any of the North and South, only a small band on the equator where my photos are in view, and putting a video of myself on top of that to simulate that im spinning around selfie-videoing, while the “location” consistently changes.

CC Environment I’ll be researching more once i’m done with this project, then just put more time into my youtube tutorial watching!

Your suggestion worked perfectly.

Didn’t link the original tutorial since I’m new here, wasn’t sure if external links would be considered trying to promote or advertise, so avoided it.

In the end what i needed to do:
Switch to only render inside, increase the render ambiance (otherwise it would only show half the sphere) and make the radius massive, and then zoom in. It should be good to go now.

Only thing that still bugs me is how both the tutorials i saw on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMxgCS8tCpA&t=128s

both start with the dome already being perfect, and not needing to make the adjustments i did.

So maybe since they’re both older, it would default that way in previous versions of AE, or my settings are just trash haha.

Thanks for the help!
