Hey everyone, I'm trying to source a dihexa gudrun that will transform into a sphere, the flat grid I'm using now distorts when using the sphere effect.
To give you a better insight into what I'm trying for it is the Countdown Drop Ball pattern.
The pattern I have now I've chroma keyed out the white background then added a white square used the sphere effect on it and then attached a plasma to it for lighting but is not as good effect as I was hoping for, maybe's just a little more work to do on it.
Hope the explanation may inspire you guys to come up with something.
I'd really like the grid to be more 3D so I can give it a living chrome texture if you know what I mean.
Anyways, thanks for any help.
What do you mean with "dihexa gudrun"?
If possible please post a video or picture of your attempt. I'm sure this will explain your question better!

Yes, exactly what I'm after Vincent.
But what I would like if possible is to have the triangles as a model hopefully a .x file if not just a flat 2d sphere will do.
The grid I'm using distorts once I apply the sphere effect to it and you can see the edges of the pattern on the reverse side.
Hope I'm explaining myself correctly for everyone to understand.

Thanks for the links guys, unfortunately Michiel the free link is there just to harvest emails I think, the site wanted about 120 dollars to download it and kept saying no free downloads left.
@Vincent, thank you, opened up fine and all I needed to do was just duplicate original file to get the full sphere.
Will let you all know how this project proceeds, thanks again everyone.

Maybe a variation on this?

Ok, now you make me jealous, lol.

@tayla I find it hard to understand what you are looking for.
Maybe something like this and then scale it from 0 to 1 on theY-axis ?
