gunnarstew Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 What I am trying to do is make a world map for a writing project. If I make a rectangle shaped world map, is it possible to edit it so that it wraps into a circle so that it appears as a top down image with the north pole being at the center?

MJW Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Assuming I correctly understand what you're trying to achieve, Shape3D will do what you want and more. It will transform the map into a sphere, which you can rotate so the north pole is centered. The default settings of "Sphere" and "Full Sphere Map" will be what you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Planetoid can also be used to wrap an image around a sphere.

MJW Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I forgot to mention that if you use Shape3D, for your purpose you'll want to turn off lighting. The lighting control is in the lower frame of the user interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
