ThreeDee,
I always get impressed with your talent creating textures and your textures quality. Besides that I admire how you get to understand easily all components, connections, combinations, and how all stuffs works. Congratulations for all your work lately.
Congratulations also for this amazing 3D Sphere. Talking about it, I'd like just to make one comment. I was doing tests importing images and please, check the attached image. In its middle it gets flipped and the images halves doesn't match. I don't know if there is a way to fix it without getting inversed/flipped.
Cheers,
Lucato.
