I need a texture for background panorama. I try a reflective sphere but seems it reflects without GI and supersampling. Is it possible someway to make it reflect with full quality? Maybe special shader?
You could just render multiple images, for example four square images with a FOV of 90, each one 90 degrees apart would give you a 360 degree panorama.
In the reflective shader you have some tweaks. For example turn off refraction and specularity. ... my guess.

Also make sure your aspect ratio is 1:1. The standard 4:3 won't work, as it will leave holes.
Amazingly, I overlooked this at first, and couldn't figure out why the images wouldn't line up! LOL :o Felt stupid once I realized what I did.
Do you need a spherical image, or are you trying to use a sphere as a workaround to possible GI issues with rendering multiple views? This spherical image was created by remapping a panorama (rendered with fill lights instead of GI)
