I had lots of bent and curved stone on the floor last time :) The images are courtesy of Vrway Communication www.arounder.com. I scanned the world for good VR for a few hours, and found a QTVR. Then I asked Vrway for permission to use the images. Sorry Makc, five planes of course- I was asleep after playing around the clock ;/

I had dragging in an old version, but somehow lost the code. Then I was to lazy, or rather concentrated on making the texture fit. It seems SkyBox and/or the camera has changed since last time. FOV, distances are different, and the direction of the top has changed as well. And of course I must honor the wheel :) Maybe three planes in a transform group would do better?
