Steven; Please post if you are able to use a bump map to get your golf ball to look real. Also, any pertinent information on how you accomplish it would be appreciated. I attempted to "build" a golf ball just for fun in both 3DS and Autocad with AME. The one in 3DS had little flaws around each dimple the shape of a triangle. One or two per dimple. I didn't finish the task because the Boolean wouldn't make this work right. The one in AME did a good job on the dimples, but then there was no surface between the dimples. I could look through the ball between the dimples to the inside of the dimples on the far side of the ball, and then between and beyond those dimples past the ball. I spent many hours and have nothing to show for it. Dennis
