It looks good, and remember, you aren't "stealing" Rune's idea, your are
"inspired by his work and use it as a learning tool for yourself." (This was

The spherical bump map will only map once across the sphere.You can't scale it
or use multiple copies of it unless you change the source image.

It looks good for a start, keep working with it.
