Beach Balls

Learning how to change camera angles is so fun!! Need to get rid of those lines in the background and work on the consistency of the lighting, but here's the post of the day! Also, I should have put my horizon line a little closer to the subject.  But to make the colors on the ball I just used a gradient on a material - with the Type set to 2D - U.  I was curious to see how long it would take to render this out.  Started rendering at about 5 and it finished up around 3am.  Hum.
