I'm looking for a way to present planets/moons/asteroids as something more than a simple sphere (which projects to a circle, convenient!). I've experimented with gradients, but I got bogged down a bit and since I was hoping for something more/better, that's where I stopped. But a gradient is the minimal solution. I'd prefer something that can actually look (somewhat) like earth while orbiting it. regards, Geoff _______________________________________________ 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
