If you mean that you want to render a spherical image map of the object from
the outside, you could try setting all the shapes that make up the object
to no_image, place a hollow mirror 1.0 sphere around the object, and use a
spherical camera at the center of the object.  This will give you a
spherical projection of the object as seen from the outside.
