This is not exactly what you requested, but I hope it is close enough...

I just finished the initial testing of an IDL routine to make smoother
spheres than that availabe in VRML. I would post it, but it's still too
preliminary for me to feel comfortable with it. I used the 'mesh_obj'
function to generate the necessary verticies for a sphere. I reformated
the output vertex array (removed the vertex count), and wrote out an
ASCII VRML file. If you need more details, please write.

I don't know if any IDL routines that do this. I do note
that there is a new VRML object in IDL 5.1 which can output
an object graphics hierarchy in the VRML format. Yet another
reason to learn about object graphics. :-)

Cheers,

David
