Those of you who have used my original prefab. Use this 1, its twice as good
Explanation...
Well, its like using 2 cones... One on top of the other. But this doesnt give the nice round effect. So this is how I did it...
Make a 64 by 64 by 64 Square out of Caulk.
Go to the Font view first and make it a cylinder (Patch<Cylinder)
The press V to bring up 9 dots. Drag the top left and top right into the middle of the top. (It will look like some sort of circus tent

).
Then switch view (Ctrl+Tab) to the Side view. And do the same (V, then drag top left and right to the top middle). (It hould now look like the top half of an rugby ball or American football ball for you Americans

)
Stay in the Side view and press V again (so the dots are visible) and click and drag the top middle dot down to the centre dot. You will now have half a sphere.
Now, Copy (Space) the half sphere and rotate it 180 degrees on its X-Axis (or Y-Axis) and place at the bottom of your first half.
And there you have a Sphere.
Peds, do not use a normal brush, this will cause problems (Infinite brushes and nodes without volume

)
