Heh. I tried reading the tutorials you linked to and have to admit I have no
idea what is going on. Are you rendering an initial image and then wrapping it
around the scene in a sphere? Wouldn't this in effect limit the possible shapes
of the scene to something that can fit well inside a sphere? The scene I have
rendered is rectangular, and there are few or no objects of interest outside
this rectangle.
