Well, I tried what I wanted to do using the image of the face but, err,
let's just say I'm not supposed to look *that* fat. So I guess that's not
the effect I want. Thinking about it, how can I declare a ... square
object, I guess, which includes my image in it, as the texture. But I want
the image to shrink and grow along with the square. Then, I would use the
ball definition, make it transparent and only show the intersection of my
image with the ball. So in effect, it would look like the ball is made of
coloured transparent glass and the picture is encased in it.

I'm trying some stuff but I'm not getting the results I want. I'll post a
different message to troubleshoot.

After that, I'm thinking of making the balls move a bit so it looks like
the wind is blowing or something. 

Sigh, so many ideas, so little talent and so little time. :-)

Thanks,

L
