That didn't really work too well, and I tried several variations...

I have to say, I'm rather unimpressed with Wings3d, the controls seem rather
cryptic.  I'm not a PoV purist, but I feel all thumbs with modelers...

The more I think about it, the more I feel a height map might be the way to go,
but I have no idea of how to create a height map suitable for a spherical
mapping.
