I'm trying to create model of baseball.

I worked out a way of creating interlocked halves but can't figure a way
of getting the stitching right.

I got close by using Rhino's "baseball sphere" and then using curve edge
to extrude curve into surface but the "baseball" shape is all wrong

I have Moray and Rhino and 3DS. The best attempt cheats using material
maps on plain ball but I reaaly want a solid. Anyway the material map is
awful to do as I don't have a graphic program than can create an array
of images (stitches) following a line/curve.

Ideas?

The message ID should be enough for your newsreader to identify the
message. In Agent, I just right-click and select 'Jump to message
URL.' I don't know how you can do it with your reader but it should be
there.

Alternatively, although I absolutely don't know what I am doing, maybe
this will work as a link:

news://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.images/38B1C5D8.DFBABF96@stud.ntnu.no

VERY close, Peter!  The correct URL is this:

news://news.povray.org/38B1C5D8.DFBABF96@stud.ntnu.no

I suppose the 38B1C5D8.DFBABF96 is a global ID.

Well, I guessed the group mattered as a) Agent seemed to skim through
the groups searching for this message and b) when I telnet-ed
news.povray.org on the nntp port and played around (Hi Chris! :) ) I
noticed an error message along the lines of "No such message ID in
this group."

Anyway, you made it work, so who cares :)
