Feature Request: Spherical mapping for landscape textures in 3D perspective #497

Closed BaudrillardBoy1 closed 3 months ago

BaudrillardBoy1 commented 4 months ago

Currently, 3D perspective looks great for normal textures but causes unwanted distortion for anything in the landscape transfer mode (especially when looking up/down).

If it’s feasible, it would be super useful to switch landscapes from cylindrical mapping to spherical mapping when 3D perspective is on. If necessary, this could be an MML texture attribute or a separate transfer mode (but I don’t think this would degrade existing landscape textures).

This feature would significantly expand the types of scenes that could be depicted in landscape textures, and it would also ensure a similar experience between players who use 3D perspective and players who don’t.
