Loose something?
It won't loose anything. It'll still be a sphere, only kind of flat (so not
a sphere actually but some oval type 3D object, eeeh, a "pill"? ;-)

If you have an unscaled and untranslated sphere in Moray, it will fit into
the box between <-1,-1,-1> and <1,1,1>
So scaling it to <1, 0.5, 1> will instead fit it into the box <-1,-0.5,-1>
and <1, 0.5,1>.
