Patorak's Sphere model has really shown a lot of potential!  I was really excited to see this fist render(upper left.)

Somehow, when I change my Main Camera's yOrbit from 0 to 90, the mapping show stress/stretch marks (upper right.)

I ran the .OBJ, through UVMapper.  Here(lower) is an image of the UV Map.  It too looked good to me also, I wanted it for use with 2:1 images and this looks like just that. 

Any ideas?
