Spherical Environment Map

Spherical Environment Mapping (SEM) is one of the simplest reflection mapping techniques.

When the camera moves around the object, the reflection is not very realistic since the same image is always reflected. The reflection is view-aligned. Mudbox aligns its SEMs to the light.

Lit Sphere is another name for SEM.
