I'm probably just missing something subtle here, but as far as I understand projective geometry, there's no "perspective" involved in rendering a sphere - it looks round no matter how it's projected, no? As opposed to a box that can be sheared or distorted in a number of entertaining ways. Right? Wrong? I'm scratching my head here ...[[User:Sgeier|Sgeier]]

Indeed. But there must be sufficient voodoo to make it not look like a flat circle or disk.
