okay, I've toyed with povray a couple of times and have done some really simple
things with it over the last three years... and wanted to try something a
little harder but can't find what I'm looking for.

I know there was a way to create a 'beach ball' in the tutorials before but now
I can't find it anymore, or maybe it was an older version...

so here it is:

how do I make a sphere with the color map of a beach ball?
