Jack-o'-lantern

"""Textures for the jack-o'-lantern (Tidewater fire pit, carved live on stream 2026-10-10). hear-venv python.
skin.png: pumpkin skin for an SL sphere (u wraps around, v pole to pole): 10 ribs, darker grooves, a little
mottling, darker near the poles. 512x256.
face.png: the carved face as an alpha mask for a second, slightly larger sphere: triangle eyes, a triangle
nose, a jagged grin. Opaque warm yellow where carved, transparent elsewhere; centred at u=0.5, v=0.5 (so the
offset decides which way it looks). 512x256, RGBA.
