IBL (image-based lighting) is a new feature in the V-Ray renderer called Dome Light. This tutorial shows the lighting possibilitie with this function in version 1.5 of V-Ray for Rhino.

The Dome Light function is said to have been expanded, allowing clean and realistic image-based lighting, particularly for product designs, to be created more quickly.
