Hi, You want something like:
sphere {0,1
pigment {image_map {jpeg "earth.jpg" map_type 1}}
translate <0.1,0.2,0.3>
}
The image is mapped to the sphere at the origin using map_type 1 (spherical
mapping) and is then translated (along with the mapped image) to wherever
you want it in the scene.
Regards,
Chris B.
