Overview

What SphereMap does

SphereMap prepares flat imagery for spherical use in reflections, refractions, environments or technical 3D projections. It is especially useful when a source is already intended to wrap around a sphere instead of a six-face cube.

When to use it

Spherical reflection maps
Environment panoramas
Refraction textures
Technical spherical projections
