Derived from the moon i did some time ago. No radiosity involved here, but a
huge 8x8 circular reorient area light instead.

Cheers

Hmm...either too lumpy and jagged, or too spherical, IMO. If it is big 
enough to have pulled itself into a spherical shape under its own 
gravity, it will have a much smoother surface. If it is too small to do 
so, it is very unlikely to have formed such a nearly perfect spherical 
overall shape...though not impossible. In any case, a neat object, but 
it seems to have some "floaters" and a hard, volcanic-looking surface 
rather than a beaten up agglomeration of debris. The asteriod pictures 
I've seen show a fairly smooth, pock-marked surface, but this looks 
sharp and solid. I think it could be used for a very good volcanic rock, 
though...

I agree 100% with you. In fact I chanced a few values from the "moon" code
and I got this. I had no idea what name to give to it and it made me think
of a asteroid, so.....
