Hi Thomas,

Very good news.

It is a scaling along the z-axis (in OpenGL and Moray, which happens to be 
the y-axis in POV-Ray) this scaling is done before the struts and spheres 
are created (it has no particular effect on the "faces").
I enclosed an image of a Dome with no scaling (on the left), with pov-ray 
z-scaling (in the middle) and with the Dome z-scaling (on the right)

I choose materials rather than textures because when you want to use a 
texture, you just have to write :
#declare Mat1 = {texture {myFavoriteTexture}}
And you have turn your favorite texture into a material.

If you're not the only one to be interested in I will (if you're the only 
one, it will take a little bit more of time ;-)).

Regards

Philippe
