Looked at the docs for sphere_sweep, didn't see anything about
syntax for changing what material it uses...for some reason it
has a solid red when I throw one into my moray scene...a solid
white would be better.

I haven't used Moray so I can't answer about how it does things but the
sphere_sweep example in the
docs shows "object modifiers" as a parameter within.  For example:

sphere_sweep {
    linear_spline,
       4,
       <-5,-5, 0>, 1
       <-5, 5, 0>, 1
       < 5,-5, 0>, 1
       < 5, 5, 0>, 1
    pigment{White}
}

You could also use a texture map to alter the texture along the sweep.

Actually it doesn't support sphere sweeps yet...I have to make
a separate .inc file by hand.  Thanks for the info!
