This is just to make more clear what I mean here:

I'm looking for a camera definition to make nr 4 look like nr 2, i.e. green
up.

I think you might be looking for the fisheye camera. This should do it:

camera {
fisheye
angle 360
rotate 180*z // or maybe you want scale <1,-1,1>
}

Oh wait, you already know about the fisheye camera. So what are you asking?
You can't get image number 4 to look like image number 2 with the spherical
camera; it produces a different type of image.

Yes, I meant, it should show the same sides at the same sides as in the
other.. but I already got an answer in p.g. - simply using look_at instead
of direction fixes it in this case as well as my other scene. Looks like
there's some small inconsistency between the spherical camera type and the
docs, or I don't fully understand how spherical projection works.
