The CG Sphere Project

"The sphere is arguably one of the most basic and fundamental primitives in computer graphics. Its uniformly curved structure allows for wide field of view coverage, as well as full diffuse tonal range shading. When reflective, its convex shape can reveal more of it’s surrounding environment than any other primitive, and when refractive it can bend surrounding light into a single concentrated caustic point. The sphere is an inherent form chaotically evident in nature and continually apparent in man-made designs. From the smallest atomic structures to the largest planetary globes, the sphere continues to be perhaps the most common geometric form in existence. "

So, let's see what you can do using this sphere scene with your favorite 3D program, if you are not a 3D artist always is amazing to see what they can make. Above some of my favorites, there are a whole bunch of good ones!
