Maybe I need to make my goal more clear -- I want an image-mapped sky to
work with radiosity.  I could care less if the technique is by sphere or
sky_sphere.  I have seen a link concerning how to eliminate the crunching
effect at the poles of image-mapped spheres, but I don't remember off
the.top of my head where it is.  A large hollow sphere placed far below the
scene will probably suffer from this phenomenon unless corrected.
