Sphere Maths help for camera positioning

Hi all, I have a sphere - it's actually a map of the world and I want to be able to rotate 360 around it (imagine going around the equator, hence X axis and Z axis)... for this I am using: campos.X = sin(deg_rads(m_cameraAngleX)) * m_cameraRadius; campos.Z = cos(deg_rads(m_cameraAngleX)) * m_cameraR...

Not overly sure what you are trying to achieve but if you are aiming to move the point in a circle around the other you could you trig: x = r cos(t) + j y = r sin(t) + k x&y are you new points coords. r is the radius of the new point from the original. j&k and the origin of the rotating poin...

JP - Yeah I want to form the plane into a sphere, well a part sphere if that makes sense... the sphere needs to be quite large and the square plane is only small in comparison... I don't want the dimensions of the plane to alter, just form the spheres shape. imagine taking a piece of paper the size ...

mapping a flat mesh onto a sphere?

Hi all,

I have a couple of flat meshs (basically they are flat planes divided up into multiple triangles) and I want to wrap these around an imaginary sphere.

Does any one know the best way to do this? What 3D package to use?

Cheers in advance...

If you're running your project in a window, check the screen dimensions are the correct proportions (not sure why that would matter).... My window was 1024x800... when it should have been 1024x768... it fixed my problem, silly typo on my behalf.
