Hi all,

Can anyone tell me which model of a fisheye-lens is used
by POVray's fisheye camera? In particular, how are the points
on the spherical projection surface mapped to points in the
2d plane of the image?

Is it:
- an orthographic parallel projection (just zeroing the z-coordinate),
- a polar azimuthal equidistant projection (the polar coordinates of
  a point relative to the "north-pole" of the sphere are used as
  the polar coordinates of the point in the plane),
- or something more exotic?

Replies to my email address please.

Thanks,

Richard
