I have been trying to find map projection software that can convert icosahedral to equirectangular for making pov-ray planet images. I've had no luck at all so far. It may be that I am using the wrong search terms or that this feature does exist in some suite as a drop-down menu so obscure that no one knows about it. Does this sound familiar to anyone here? Is this something that you would want to explore as an idea? I attached image of the input and output maps for clarity. Any good coders here interested in the project? I already have all the maths needed. - Molly_J
