Not long time ago, I posted thread, about globe generator
http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/threads/472353/globe-generator
meanwhile waiting for resolving answer. I was trying a lot of softwares and trick and stuff.
So I have found few things, of how I can create Sinusodial 6-way interrupted image (not sure if written correctly),
of which basic idea looks like that (earth):

That's how globes in real life are made. Image is being split in these specific places and corners are being bend internally.
I could generate gigantic image going over 100MP.
Do you guys know program, on which I could put this image on and then being able to move globe around, together with zoom in and out? Without making my computer BSOD within BSOD?
@edit - I know Photoshop and GIMP can do it. But they generate it at one specific moment. To get another view of globe, you need to rerender it.
