Actually, I was trying to get the pigment of the object. I only wanted the
sphere to appear, but with the texture of the object, hence my method with the
cutaway thing...

Yeah, I'd like to, but what texture ?...


Bah, I guess I'll just have to pass the pigment to my macro as well as the
object...

The same texture as that of your object. You will carve out your little spheres 
out of the same block of texture as your target object.
