SkyPaint does the EXACT same thing as what I am doing.  But my method is
totally and completely 100% free.  All you need to do is render your POV world

horizontal & vertical directions, convert the files to jpeg format for faster
downloads, and create a vrml file similar to the following.  This example
assumes that the vrml file is in the same location as your images.


#VRML V2.0 utf8

Background {
        frontUrl "front.jpg"
        backUrl "back.jpg"
        leftUrl "left.jpg"
        rightUrl "right.jpg"
        topUrl "top.jpg"
        bottomUrl "bottom.jpg"
}


Too easy, isn't it???
