Maybe an object needs to be textured before it will sphere map?

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

There are 10 people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

i have the same problem. it only occurs if i use the "set display mode" command my object just appears white. take the command out and it works. i tried it with every res and colour depth. might be a bug, im not sure

The sphere mapping does produce a very dark object... I think it depends on the bitmap.

Try the showcase example.

There's nothing wrong with your code (although the specular command is redundant). I would suggest the problem is with the sphere map itself but without seeing it I can't confirm. They need to be carefully constructed or you just don't see anything happen, much like a normals map for bump mapping.

Here is one I use a lot, works very well for a metallic shine:

Also - your object needs to be smooth, right? You can't just apply sphere mapping to a cube for example - the flat sides just won't do anything. Ideally use a sphere or object with lots of smooth edges, it's a waste of a command otherwise.

Cheers,
