HDRI Pixelated

It seems that HDRI's are always pixelated in Maxwell... no matter which I use (I've tried 100's from different sources). Is there a setting I should know about other than scale? Or just continue to look for something of high enough res?

It works just like our built-in quadratic texture filter. Give it a go and let me know.

Well, .. I'd say that that little checkbox is quite the unassuming landmine.
What does it do to rendertime ??

Probably nothing. It's a one time calculation I'm sure. Kind of like resampling an image in PS. Takes a few seconds max.
Right Tom? Huh? Huh? Huh Tom?

It's not something pre-calculated because it's view dependant so, we prefer this rapid solution without sacrificing the quality.
