Probably, try clipping it with a plane instead.

Real nice photograph,  but if you want to render it
be prepared to be dissapointed, it'll take you hours
and hours, and you'll still be nowhere close to the
photo version.

Hm, yes, using radial is a bit more elegant than gradient. Ah, well who cares
as long as it works.. 

I also found a thread in this group concerning my other problem:

but I got around this since I didn't actually need a texture_map, just a
pigment_map.

Btw I'm planning to make a bunch of baseball artifacts for the Knickers web
site. Can't wait to start on that glove :-[ Nice excuse to learn spatch..

Very nice image.  You might consider Rhino for making that glove.  You can
download a fully functional demo that limits you to a total of 25 saves.  It
exports to POV and is VERY powerful.  If you're a student they offer a great
discount (my wife just started back to school to finish her MBA... time to
buy it!!!).

That was 15 uses last that I checked (the day before). If you can keep
an uptime of two or three days you'll learn most of the stuff you'll
need. The tutorials are good and the help, though a bit on the
reference side, is, well, quite helpful. I was able to create a pretty
complex (for me, anyway) model in less than 6 hours and I don't think
I am any exception to the learning curve statistics.

They must have changed it... I just checked mine and it said I have 25 saves
left (I haven't made anything good enuf to save yet).

I'll check it out. I've seen some very nice models done with Rhino, but I
didn't know there was a trial version. How good is the pov-export? Do you
have good control of object groups/unions?

Kill Rhino and, while your at it, destroy your gifs.

Just My Not So Humble Opinion.

Very nice.

Is that a bat?

Personal to me:  Jr is now #30. But who will break 714(?).
Mac or the Cry Baby?

The POV export is pretty good. It can export a big POV file or a small
POV file and a separate INC for every object. It would have been good
if all elements on a layer could be made into a single mesh, but even
now preparing a 50 MB exported mesh for rendering takes about 5
minutes.
