It is really easy just to make a sphere in any 3D package (like Blender) and then render it. But Id like to suggest something particularly cool. Make a sphere in Blender, select it, then Export it as an OBJ file. Then import it to OneRender. OneRender is a scene layout AND cloud rendering platform. It is in beta, and the beta is free. It has some interesting applications both in the commercial and academic markets. The beta access usually requires a PRIVATE INVITE CODE, but lucky for you, I have one that you (or anyone on this list) can use: Sign up on this page: http://www.onerender.com/signup_mirye/ With THIS INVITE CODE: MESHBOX0617 There is a 3 minute video on the sign up page that shows how it works. A sphere is a really simple thing. Just import / upload your sphere and apply a texture to it. You might also want to get on the forum there as ask if anyone has planetary textures. They are running a Star Wars art contest now so I believe somebody should some planetary textures. Something to have fun with this weekend, too ;-) Best regards, Lynn Fredricks Paradigma Software http://www.paradigmasoft.com Valentina SQL Server: The Ultra-fast, Royalty Free Database Server _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
