Filter Forge - mapping a pattern onto a sphere

Sjeiti sock puppet Posts: 722 Filters: 71	I'm kind of having a hard time mapping a pattern onto a sphere. I thought a Circular Arc with a Tile- or Frame component (sphere) as height into a Refraction component would do the trick but it doesn't. The edges look fine but for some reason the middle (which should have hardly any offset) tends to shrink a little. The attached filter will show you the problem. It is clearly visible in pattern nr 4, the egg looks dented instead of round. Easter eggs.ffxml
