Problems wrapping a curve onto a spherical surface
Problems wrapping a curve onto a spherical surface
(OP)
I am trying to wrap a datum curve consisting of text onto a spherical surface. When I select the spherical surface I get an error message saying the surface can't be developed. I can wrap the curve onto an extruded surface.
Any ideas please, or perhaps a work around?
Many thanks
Dave

Projection will work and there maybe something in the warp tool to to do it.
RE: Problems wrapping a curve onto a spherical surface
once I have the same problem, but it was with a coca cola logo.
I manage very well doind the following:
I create a cone inserted on the sphere
I've wraped the coca logo on the cone
then I've projected the result of the wrap on the sphere.
Of course this is not 100% correct but the result was pretty good

Wrap the curve onto a developable surface, then project that onto the undevelopable one. For a Sphere, I just tried wrapping a logo onto a cylinder, and then projecting it onto a sphere, with good results...
