[Papervision3D] Creating a 3D Panorama from Spherical Donut Shaped image

[Peter Kapelyan]

I can imagine you would need a dome or sphere mapped especially just
for that picture (or lense), so you would need to just wrap the UV map
around your picture correctly.
Can be tricky, but in this case, it doesn't look too hard because it's
not an irregular shape.
What kind of lense is that? I have had this idea too...but didn't know
it can be done with one lens. :)
