Just for the record - i did not write the HF_sphere macro in shapes.inc. 
  I did however write the IC_HF_Sphere macro in the IsoCSG library and 
it will not have any trouble to handle large images and you can also 
make the image cover only parts of the sphere without problems (by 
modifying the macro or by using IC_HF_Sphere_Function instead).
