I've noticed that the moon is not 3D, is there a way to make it so? Just curious...

Draw distance is less than 385,000 km, so no.

Robyn, this question has a lot of beautiful, poetic overtones. AFAIK the moon is a flat texture--in addition to Bertha's very witty answer, even if you could fly up to it, there wouldn't be a "dark side". You wouldn't even find cheese on it.

I have seen some Residents do their own textures (with transparent alpha layers) up in the sky and designed to be pasted over the current moon. For example, a waxy giant anime one, or even a large crescent for that extra touch of moonphase.

But, who knows: maybe someday Magellan Linden's (remember him?) descendants will come up with a propulsion system that gets us all there.

OMG that's sooo cute.

(Well, at least we know it's not made of ribs, as Will Ferrell-as-Harry Caray would lead us to believe.)

Now now, just because it's a hockey mask doesn't mean it's Jason Voorhees.

Could you send me a full-perm copy of that texture, Missy?
Or open the texture, click on File, Save As... that way it will not be stretched

If anyone has another high rez picture of the Jason moon, my email is [email]eggstasy@gmail.com[/email]
