Cool. That could be a decent disco ball. :-)

Can alternating face attributes be easily set to it?

Is there a bit of iterating script in there to generate the mesh? (the long
version of my Boing! description begs for some nested loop goodness, though
the smaller version I posted seems to render about 21% faster, I'm too lazy
to verify at the moment though).

I'm also curious to see mesh code.
