A while ago I started working on updating my logo, doing it both in Maya, and wanting to try my hand at making some kind of cool background like image like the various 3D images involving simple shapes, and whatnot.

So this is the fruit of my latest foolings. Messing around with textures, learning how to get odd shapes to look smooth without strange smoothing errors, and toying with making a texture dome.

This would probably be much better with Final Gathering making the blue "sky" it's own light source.
I'll do some more messing with it I'm sure.
