Spherical UV Mapper
The spherical UV mapper doesn't work well. Previous forum comments indicate the problem is a Cheetah 3D quirk, not a mistake on my part.

Attached are two renders, one from Bryce (a classic OS 9 3D program, for you youngsters) and a similar version from C3D.
I rarely need, or want, to use the UV Editor, for reasons most of you are familiar with. The basic UV Mapper projections almost always suit my needs. Sometimes I break up a model to apply different materials. The aim is to keep the process as simple and intuitive as possible. The spherical projection of an image onto a non-sphere is occasionally useful, and a Bryce-like function would be welcome. I hope it is something that Martin could easily add, maybe adapting a pre-existing free resource.
