Graphics Simple Spheres

Since the board has been so quiet lately, ping pong graphics came to a crawl (maybe I should introduce the game Copycat) and I have had time on my hands.
I was exploring a simple way to create a vector sphere and give it that 3d look.
Messing around with multiple blends and shadows didn't get me anywhere fast plus consumed to much time, also a real pain if I needed to make a change. Anyway while creating a button and using the bevel tool, for some reason I just decided to push the bevel inward and the result was a believable sphere. Not to bad if I say so myself, plus it's quick and easy. Maybe it will come in handy for someone, just thought I'd share.
