For the Amiga side, try Photon Paint (vII I think) a pretty old HAM6
painting package (only low res images?). This has a very nice wrap brush
to sphere tool. Leastways I thought it was nice when I used it on my
old A500. I'm not sure if it runs on AGA machines tho'. You can get it
for as little as 10 U.K. pounds now.
Mac side - a bit more expensive now. Photoshop and either use one of the
supplied distortion filters (I forget which one - but called something
like spherize), or KPT's(?) glass lens filter (buy KPT's power tools to go
with Photoshop, or you can probably find it on a magazine CDROM or the
Web), or one of the Andromeda series has a 3D filter which lets you map
images partly or wholely on spheres, cubes etc (I'm typing out of memory
for this last one so the company name might be wrong).
PC side - Photoshop again I guess (I've never used Photoshop on this
platform). Mega expensive option - 3D Studio will do this - and so will
Lightwave 4.0 for the PC (?).
Just a few ideas,
Christian.
