Dear Fedder,
try e.g.
<< Graphics`Shapes`
Show[Graphics3D[{EdgeForm[], {SurfaceColor[Hue[0.35, 0.7, 0.9]],
Sphere[]}, {SurfaceColor[Hue[0.15, 1., 0.7]], Cone[0.5, 2,
30]}}]]
Or if you want, do:
s = {Cos[theta] Sin[phi], Cos[theta] Cos[phi], Sin[theta]};
gs = ParametricPlot3D[s, {phi, 0, 2 Pi}, {theta, -Pi/2, Pi/2},
DisplayFunction -> Identity]
c = {r Sin[phi], r Cos[phi], z};
gt = Block[{r = 1/2},
ParametricPlot3D[c, {phi, 0, 2 Pi}, {z, -1.5, 1.5},
DisplayFunction -> Identity]]
Show[MapAt[({EdgeForm[GrayLevel[0.5]], SurfaceColor[RGBColor[0, 1, 1]],
#} &),
gs, 1], MapAt[{EdgeForm[],
SurfaceColor[GrayLevel[0.3], GrayLevel[1.], 5], #} &, gt, 1],
DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction]
this all gives something colorful.
Kind regards, Hartmut
