I just also wanted to mention
that the code below does the same
as the above code.


#declare MySphere =
sphere {
  <0, 0, 0>, 0.06
  texture { T_Gold_3C }
}

#declare Cx = 0;
#while(Cx < 180)
  object {
    MySphere
    translate y
    rotate Cx*x
  }
  #declare Cx = Cx + 6;
#end // while


If you like, you can write
rotate <Cx, 0, 0> instead of
rotate Cx*x
 
(Note that when using other
textures, that are not the same
at every point in 3D-space, the
result from the two examples
above will become different.)
