hmmm I'd be inclined to take a m3 skullcap into a modeler and bevel all the vertices a teensy bit, than move them out from the skull and do a little extrude/scale/extrude dance to get the pinheads. I just tried that on a sphere in Wings and it came out nicely ... a v3 skullmap made Wings crash ..so try a different modeler :) I will keep my pinnedball though ..its a nifty widget
