Thanks Gidgit.

G-man,

Faking, cheating and trickery .

Yep! I agree, a combination of lense distortion + cut and paste is the answer for a flawlessly magnifide image.

On the last one I enlaged the x,y circumference of the sphere, then booled it with a torus for less curvature along the edge. That slightly reduced the tendency of the underlying image wrapping around the circumference of lense.

Looks like a heavy duty tune those ants are inspecting. Any idea what it is?

Testing animation

Any idea what it is?

Clip art.

AH! Good Old Wolfgang. Thanks.
One problem though, my browser won't play anims. Any ideas about what could be blocking them?

Cheers
