I think there was also one on www.scifi3d.theforce.net if the site loads for you that is.

i think Ed Gidding has done a borg sphere too and released it.. worth a google search.

I had a play with Dan Huling's sphere via PoseRay and there are a couple of problems.

1. I'm assuming you also downloaded the textures

They show up just fine in PoseRay
2. There are 17 materials defined although there are only 7 textures - bummer
3. The 17th texture is the engine exhaust - real bummer

I tried rearranging Groups to Materials in PoseRay to reduce the number of materials, but the groups didn't correspond to parts of the madel using the same textures - bummer

[attachthumb=#1]
Only "fixed" the hull texture

4. Most of the textures are tiled so I replaced the default shaders with an image map shader (Projection: object UV, size 0.2,0.2, repeat X and Y, Flip X and Y) and a reflective shader.

Trying Maxapyn's sphere... no... it's only in Max

Hey Ben!

This problem I already had with the whitestar project....I tried to find a way to reduce ore group same materials with poseray...but no chance.
I had to change that with blender....and import it as two obj´s.

If there´s no way in poseray to solve that problem with reducing and/or grouping materials and groups....obj with more than 10 textures have to be "redesigned" with other 3d programs....
