Projecting edges onto the surface of a sphere?
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can give me some pointers? I''m trying to project the edges of a defined shape (in this case a cube) onto the surface of a unit sphere.
I can derive the corner vertices coordinates for those (corner) points on the sphere but I am unsure how to draw the edges, do I have to use bezier patches or nurbs? (and I haven''t got a clue how to use them!)
Many thanks,
Ben....
Project a cube onto a sphere? What does that mean? Have the sphere inside the cube and pull the cube in so that it fits onto the sphere? Or take the cube and flatten it into a 2d object then wrap it around the sphere? ... Take the edges of the cube and just draw lines onto the sphere??
Maybe a little clearer picture is needed...
