How do I add tiling to this comment:

sphere { // Sphere001
  <0,0,2>,1
  texture {
 pigment {
  image_map {
      gif "Spaceship.gif"
     }
    }
}
  finish { ambient 0.5 diffuse 0}
  scale <20.0, 5.0, 20.0>
}


Thanks

James

I think I know what you mean... and the only way I know to tile an
object is to set it up in a nested while loop and translate it.
Something like this:

#declare x = 0
#declare z = 0
#while (x<101)
 #while(z<101)
   object { foo translate <x, 0, z> }
   #declare z = z + 1
  #end
  #declare x = x + 1
 #end

I'm a beginner too, so if this doesn't work then let me know.  You might
have to decalre the z loop as an object and call it in the x loop.  Hope
that helps.
