Sounds almost like an expletive!
Is this more what you guys thought of for the Asteroid texture?
There are some granite flats in the Sierras of Northern California I
have been to that look a lot like this. In fact I got my Astronomy
merit badge after spending a night camped out there.
I don't know how likely it is that an asteroid would be made of
granite, but this looks better than the green/Yellow splotches I had
before :)

I don't really know what an asteroid should look like but those yellow spots
were kinda ugly. Looks better.

Unfortunately you'd have to go with what those asteroid close-up photos look
like if going for realism, problem with that idea though is there could be very
different so-called asteroids everywhere else too. Kind of like how the moons
of Jupiter are nothing like the Moon even though about the same size.
You would have had a difficult time convincing anyone about the looks of the
Jovian moon Io if you painted a picture that looked exactly like it more than 25
years ago.

And how about those Erotic Asteroid close-ups? Any one done a render
from the NEAR data yet? < http://near.jhuapl.edu/iod/ >

"Erotic"?? Or was that to be Erosic? Either way I'm confused since all I saw
at that URL was a heart-shaped depression as was stated there for the Image Of
The Day. Seems to be a few craters.
My mother sent me a newspaper photo of a heart on Mars yesterday for Valentines.
She knows I like space stuff. Unfortunately she doesn't realize I don't go for
that Martian Face kind of thing and so I was actually checking out how it might
be a ice flow on land or something, like a leftover land-based iceberg type of
thing.
Oh, and no, I haven't rendered Eros; maybe someone else is doing that though
;-)
