Conical mapping - given that textures (btimpas at least) come in 1*1
squares... would conical mapping use one half (triangular) of said 1*1
texture? Of course for bricks and the like the texture would ahve to
be pre-tilted by, oh, about 45%... but (offhand) it sounds like a
plausable approach. Looking beyond a 1*1 basic texture (halved) or to
a third dimension is beyond me - this just seemd like the "obvious"
way of doing conical textures.
