I use HDRI most of the time and it turn out quite good.

HDRI is great sure, but not so fast to render >:/

U can tweak it using a projector map, will be pretty more faster

Will you get the same resoults?

yep, the result still be good.

The control is not so goos as an Hdri sepcialy for animation...

But for a Fixe shot, that could really be engouh and pretty more fast.

 

U can also use a LowDef HDRI on the sky slot.

Just edit your reflexion map with HDRShop and reduce and blur it, to get faster renders.

for exemple :

Default HDR image size 1024*1024

Reduce HDR image size 256*256

 

Hope that could help....

 

All the best
