Orestes iray skydomes, are they convertable to 3DL?

Does anybody know if Orestes various iray skydomes are easily convertible to 3DL for use as a simple backdrop on a skydome (even if the HDR effect does not convert)?  Can I just take an existing 3DL skydome and swap out the image used from one of the iray ones, or is it not that simple?

    The HDRs should work with uberEnvironment, though you'd have to set them up manually.

    I took a regular 3DL skydome(using the DS default shader) and loaded an HDRI, rendered with the standard 3DL renderer:

    It won't emit light in this case but can be used as any jpg or png.

    My advice would be to take the HDR into, say, Photoshop and convert it to 8 bit, adjusting the image to taste. That way you can get EXACTLY the backdrop you want in 3dl.
