Hi all,

I'm trying to render out an environment for use as a game background where it'll be applied to a sphere, so I'm trying to figure out how to render out either two hemispherical FOV's to stitch together, or if I can make a whole skymap style panorama. But I've no idea how to do this, and extensive searching has turned up nothing.

Any help'd be much appreciated!

Why donīt do it like the realife photographers do it? Create a Mirror Ball, place an ortho camera right on top of it and you are done !!
