Chris, I've got a problem.  The code I used to make this works in the
Mini-Patch but not in the Mega-Patch.  Any clue?

#declare Texture =
texture {
pigment { granite
color_map {
[0 rgb .5]
[1 rgb .75]
}
scale 5
}
finish {ambient 0 diffuse 1}
}
texture {
pigment { bozo
pigment_map {
[.1 rgbt 1]
[.9 granite
color_map {
[0 rgb .75]
[1 rgb 1]
}
scale 10
]
}
scale .5
turbulence .5
omega .125
}
finish {ambient 0 diffuse 1}
}
#declare Base=function {"Sphere",<1>}
#declare Moonlikebumps=
function {
pigment {granite
color_map {[0 rgb 0][1 rgb 1]}
scale 2.5
}
}
isosurface {
function {
Base(x,y,z)+Moonlikebumps(x,y,z)*.2
//+(Oid(-y,-z,-x))*.2
//+(Oid2(x,y,z))*.25/10
//+(Oid3(x,y,z))*.25/20
}
eval
accuracy .005
bounded_by{sphere{0,1}}
texture {Texture}
}


camera {
direction 1
location <-1,1,-1>*2
look_at <0,0,0>
}

light_source {<25,20,-50>*100 rgb <1.15,1.15,1>*1}
light_source {<0,-20,50>*100 rgb <.5,.5,1>/2}

It works fine(and with very nice results) here using MacMegaPOV 0.2. Are 
you sure you are using the latest version?

    This is lots of fun! I suspect that we will see some much better planets
in the next few weeks. Here's my first try.

    I am working on some texture_maps to improve this.

the hills are to extreme, dont forget that the earth from space appears
almost perfectly flat, maybe if they were about 1/3rd as pronounced it would
look perfect

Right, but then it was indistinguishable from just a bozo pigment. I had to
lift the mountains enough for them to throw noticeable shadows before it
looked anything but flat.

Remember, often the appearance of reality is more important than the reality
of the appearance.

This looks a lot like a half-eaten bubblegum ball I found when cleaning the
kid's bedroom last week. :{)

Nah, it's just the smallest M-class planet in the galaxy!

Real crater rims are not additive, like ripples: the new obliterate the
old.  That is why these moons look wrong.

That's what I thought. It'd be easy to fix, but I've moved the whole
thing to the Big Giant Archives.
