Sphere horizontal texturing depends on segments about panosalado HOT 5 CLOSED

no, workaround is to rotate sphere by certain amount, this was mentioned few 
times 
on pv3d list.

here is relevant message:

Yaw offset depends on number of horizontal segments due to way of how sphere is 
built - it's built top-down, not left-right, so start of horizontal polys wont 
always be in the same position - they will have offset of horizontal segment 
angle. 
To get the correct yaw for `face-front` you can use something like:

sphere.yaw(90 - 360/numberOfSegmentsW); // for degrees based system

or

sphere.yaw(Math.PI/2 - 2*Math.PI/numberOfSegmentsW); // for radians based system

Hope it helps...

basically, the same with sandy sphere - 
http://www.flashsandy.org/tutorials/3.0/sandy_cs3_tut15a - seems like same code 
was 
used in all the engines...

Wow! Fantastic!  I didn't expect to get a solution by posting my own bug.  I'll 
have to do that more often!  THANK 
YOU!

I will implement the yaw workaround right this minute.  That was basically the 
sort of thing I was thinking I 
would have to work out on my own, since I looked at the sphere primitive and 
thought about modifying it and 
then got all depressed.

this has been addressed and is in the source code for panosalado.
