How does one make a Tessellated Poly sphere in Maya?

EDIT:
A tesselated poly sphere is NOT at Triangulated Globe.

This is the same as the Default Maya Sphere.

This is what I want.

I'm not sure what do you mean with 'tesselated'
but if it's what I think just :

Edit Polygons - Normals - Soften/Harden

... and a value of 0 should do what I think
you thought that we should think you were talking about ;)

yes here it is:
GeoSphere v0.2:: [ By T. Elser ] - [ README ] - [ Works on: 4.x, NT ] - [ Updated May 1st 2002 ] - [ 45 kb ]

go to highend3d and in maya script section do a serach for "geodesic"

hope that helps :)
