Happy new year to everybody,

I am trying map an image (in png) onto a portion of sphere (say from (0,0)
to (45,45) )

As far as I can tell, it does not seem to be possible using an image_map (or
I did not find the right modifier to do so ..)
If somebody could point me in the right direction to achieve that, I would
be grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Look at the thread "how to do ultra-hi-res image_mapping on a sphere?" 
in povray.advanced-users.

Thanks A LOT ! I missed this one.

The trick is to combine translate and warp{ spherical } to select the
projection area.
I figured the warp part myself, but not the translate ... Good thing I dont
have to resort to "manual" mapping using function ...

Now I can start my 128 pixel/degree  MOLA mars render ...
