I am hoping that someone could assist me. I want to apply a mural onto a wall that is about 16' wide and 9' feet high The mural will go the length of the wall but only be about 5 feet high...I don't want the mural to look stretched or to repeat itself on the wall as some materials will do. How do i get the mural into the drawing and have it look correct?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Like you can see in my images just edit that "texture" and change the "Lenght and Height" then you have the effect you want.

Typhoon, that's an interesting idea -- It immediately made me think of the old technique for putting a background in renderings -- decals on distant walls-- and so I made this horrible monster. I'm not sure what it would do to a project, though the idea of having a panoramic background that's reasonably accurate from any angle is appealing.  The project, of course, would be inside the dome-of-no-sunlight.

It makes me think of the Truman Show. 

Also.  the shape of the dome would need a lot of work to match the distortion of the lense, but that could be done.
