I see your point and I agree 100%.

I see this certainly has the same problem as my pieces of
code.  What I was trying to copy was this piece of code:

object{object_a}
   pigment
      {object {object_b}
            pigment {rgb 0.5}
            pigment {rgb <1,0,0>}
      }
   }
}

Except I want to use a texture object pattern and not a
pigment one.  Is it even doable?  I'm thinking its just
a syntax problem but I can't find an example of a texture
object patern to copy.  I want something that assigns
one texture inside the object and a spherical texture map
outside the object.  I was also wanting to scale the
second texture and not the first.  I'm still new enough the
problem isn't obvious to me.

Can you give me another push in the right direction?
