Does anyone know how to get an EcoSystem material arround an entire sphere? Thusfar I can only populate the northern or upper hemisphere. Thanks

Thanks DVcreator!! Please disregard the IM I sent to you, I found the "Backdoor" =-) It let me down, however rather than out, I guess there is no way to completely populate a sphere! Unbelievable but so far I guess it's true. If someone does figure it out it would be very hand for a spherical logo populated with skyscrapers, which BTW, is what I'm trying to create. Thanks Again RT

Well- why don't you take a sphere that's populated with the top half- COPY IT- swing the COPY around 180 degrees- merge it with the first sphere- and- VOILA! A fully populated sphere! (You might want to make the COPIED Sphere invisible as well...)

Yep that last post is the way to do it. It's not too much trouble, and seems to work pretty well.

Yes, that will work. but it just seems "wrong" to have to do it that way. Especially considering that some projects will require a more robust solution. Thanks All...
