Hmmm. Check out my environment mapping demo I've just put on the web (my
what a coincedence!), it's a real pain in the neck to do and I ended up
cheating the work out the surface noramls of the torus. I reckon there
must be a less processor intensive way of doing it, but I'm buggered if
I know what it is.

You can find it at:

PS It also demonstrates motion blurring, I'd be impressed if you put
that in without slowing down the game too much. It takes an extra
100-odd hSyncs on my demo but it makes the frame rate hard to read
'cause it's all blurred. Doh!
