Can I map a 360° panorama as equirectangular image to a sphere, so that it resembles the original panorama inside out?

  • $\begingroup$ Do you want this as an actual mesh, or can it be just the background world texture? Because it is relatively easy to setup a world texture. $\endgroup$ – VRM Jan 24 '15 at 14:46

  • $\begingroup$ Go into edit mode, press A to select all, press U > Sphere Projection. You should have a reasonably accurate UV you can edit. In the UV Image Editor, select the desired texture and edit as desired. $\endgroup$ – VRM Jan 24 '15 at 14:51

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, UV mapping seems to be what I need. Just tried that in another 3D software (don't have Blender installed here). $\endgroup$ – feklee Jan 24 '15 at 16:15
