[Papervision3D] Sphere BitmapMaterial yaw offset

[Yanis Pavlidis]

Hi Tim,

thanks for the prompt reply!

Your code can fix this issue, but I was wondering if that yaw offset is
constant, or dependent on the radius of the sphere, or the number of
triangles. Some trial and error can shed some light, but if somebody knows
that, from going through the source maybe, it would be very helpful.

Thank you,
Yanis
