Getting a bit off topic ... since I answer my own question ... and you answered it also ...
I was looking at maybe creating a RAW-TRIANGLE dense mesh at RUN-TIME (maybe in draw plugin routine),
and I continue to think that you could "ASSUME" a spherical MAPPING of the input image ... and then just apply it to points on a "geodome" and get great asteroids maker from your height-map surface plugin.
Geo-Dome looks to maybe have some basis for quickly making a sphere that would be STAMPED by a spherical projection image.
It it already works .. stamping an entire SPHERE at one time ... then appologies for being ignorant. I only have so much time.
My plan to to make a few more "WORLDS" like mystery science theatre 3000 style ... soon.
