 Hello, I've made with blender different shapes of sphere and exported
 them into wavefront files (.obj) to open it with [model]...
Blender 'UVsphere' doesn't make a difference with gem [sphere]
But blender's icosphere seems to take as much CPU as pd's [cube],
I've been able to create 7^3 icospheres with one subdivision loaded with [model] 
That would be enough to make a model of our solar system with the nine famous planets and their moons with a single computer.
 Also, the planets wouldn't have a round shape obviously.
