							 vok,  I  hadn't  really  thought  of  it,  but  I  think  I  was  picturing  thing  glass.    I  guess  solid  would  have  bubbles  in  it....

							 well,  the  reason  I'm  asking  is  as  follows:  a  thin  glass  sphere  will  not  cause  such  deformations,  especially  in  the  middle  -  look  through  a  light  bulb  for  reference.

							 uh...  solid.    yeah.    I  meant  solid!    ;-)    Good  tip  -  thanks.

							 You  also  need  a  more  visible  edge,  as  the  glass  will  have  some  thickness,  and  some  highlights  on  the  inside  surface.      You  also  wouldn't  have  that  shadow  at  the  bottom.  A  solid  glass  sphere  would  be,  of  course,  completely  different.

							 and  by  completely  different  I  mean  rotated  at  180°  like  this  or  this

							 I  agree  about  the  shadow...  but  it  looked  like  it  was  floating  without.    any  suggestions?    and  yeah...  I  should  probably  have  a  better  edge.    I  always  seem  to  err  on  the  side  of  translucency  with  these  spherey  things!
