Wow, something else I did not know. User-defined camera types! With 
this, I might be able to make a camera similar to a fisheye lens, but 
one which works in conjunction with my idea of projecting the image from 
the camera!

Thanks Tim, for trying this idea. I'm thinking the best way is to make a 
map to fill the camera's view of the image. Reflective surfaces might 
show badly-textured back sides, but I think I can live with that. I'll 
keep your inverted spherical projection as reference. Thanks again!
