Reprojecting world map with FT3

I've been working on a world map using a Mollweide projection grid. I recently found MapToGlobe to wrap my map on a sphere for a 3D view of my world. However, the image it takes and warps is intended to be an Equirectangular projection. I want to minimize the warping as much as possible, and I read that some people have used Fractal Terrain 3 to reproject their custom maps. I'm completely new to FT3, so I haven't been able to figure out how and was hoping someone could show me what steps to take to take my Mollweide map image and reproject it in Equirectangular.
Alternatively, if that can't be done in FT3, does anyone know of a tool that could do this? I tried NASA's G.Projector, but the closest input image it accepts is Hammer projection. It mostly works on a sphere after I export it to Equirectangular, but I want to see if I can minimize the warping as much as possible by using Mollweide as the source input.
Thanks!

If your map is in .jpg or .bmp file format the program
reprojectimage.exeby Joe Slayton can do the reprojection from Mollweide to Equirectangular for you.It can be found here:

PS: Joe was a little bit faster...
That one works, thanks you two!
