pygame.org and there mailing list might be helpful as well. The only thing I
can think of for this is to use something like blender with an exact replica
of the 3d object you plan to map to, unwrap it and make a uv mapping, ie you
cut the 3d object up so it's flat draw the texture on then it fits perfectly
when you apply it to the original object.
