Take a look at this:

Torley descibes something like this, making a hollowed sphere and then texturing the inside, IIRC.

probably won't matter that small, but inverse spheres (and other sealed shapes) have a built in slight oddity... the texture will seem to move int the opposite direction as expected when rotating view around them... market it as a feature =)

You can "fix" that texture reversal by setting twist at 180 - 180. The end result will be practically a perfect microsphere... Just don't try to cut path it. (>_<;) ... (^_^)

ohhhh thank you, I been wondering how to stop that weird texture reversal in micro spheres!

ermm I guess I actually did type it... just out of context LOL
