Must be mirrored, as in the pattern flipping over symetrically.
I love it, has a very detailed appearance.  Any chance of this being used in
normal form?

Cool!!  Great detail and contrast in the pattern.  They remind me of
Ukranian eggs, or Bulatov's polyhedra kaleidoscope at
http://www.physics.orst.edu/~bulatov/polyhedra/kaleidoscope/index.html

My attempts at making javascripts inside VRML didn't come out so well...

My first thought was of Chinese porcelain ...
Could this be applied to bowls or vase shapes or does this
method require spheres . . . ?

These spheres should look wonderful in different colors on Christmas
trees.  Christmas in July!  I have my nutcrackers out, since I have
enough of them to have a collection of them.  Maybe I should add some to
the collection by rendering more of them.

Beautiful

What are those small metal or ivory(?) balls that Chinese sell?

The .pov file is being posted to povray.txt.scene-files.
The subject will be "spherical warp tile"
The .pov file requires an image map that is not included
(for reasons of copyright (not mine!)) so you'll have
to substitute your own image map, or some other pigment.

Yup, that's what I meant.

I *think* you can use a warp on a normal.  I think I remember
using that on a plane object to get a more artificial
tiled look.  Hmmm.

It only works on spheres.  Not only that, the way I use the
warp function, the spheres must be 1.0 units (or less) in
radius.

These look beautiful, they'd make great candels, just scoop the 
top out put a wick and a flame in, and make them slightly 
translucent.

I've scene candles exactly like these, with almost the same patterns and
shape.
