For speed I sent a zipped file to povray.binaries.scene-files with a xmas ball
made in Moray and using an image map. No fading edges (I don't know what you
want) but you might be able to do something with the image. The moray file is
part of the Moray tribute scene. I am sure Steve Shelby wont mind (if it was him
who made it)
