Hi!

Perhaps it's a silly (or well known) question.

I wanted to wrap an imagemap around a cylinder and rotate the cylinder like
a "worldglobe" in an animation.
Well, as I understand now it works fine for about +/- 45 degrees - but then
I see the "side" and the "backside" of the imagemap.
I tried to translate the Map, but that seemed not to work. I thought of
translating the Cylinder but feeled that could not be the elegant way (if it
works at all).

Can someone give me a hint, please?

Thanks in advance,

Marc-Hendrik

Sorry, sorry, sorry!!!

Just found the FAQ at http://members.xoom.com/yang4yang/pov/imap1.html (and
should have had a look in the doc's).

Thanks anyway,

Marc-Hendrik
