i'm working on a game in which i need a matrix that appears spherical, as i am trying to give the illusion that the world is round, but so far all attempts to create a spherical matrix have ended in serious glitches : / has anyone done anything like this before?

now i just need to figure out a clean and fast way to simulate that its actually a round world when the camera moves across it.. or it moves across the camera.., because when the heightmap map is loaded onto the matrix it needs to appear that there are no edge boundaries so the map is "round" (instead of like a warcraft 3 or age of empires map)

Whell, the game is going ok so far, we now have the beginnings of an engine. Now we have hit another snag with matrix editing. We need to be able to use the mouse to edit the height of certain vertices on the matrix, so far I have come up with nothing on how to do this correctly...
