I'm trying to make a globe model for earth using fairly accurate projections. I've been able to convert the SVG into mesh, then into a sphere using this guide with Simple Deforms. However, since the vertices are only on the outline, when I deform the shape, it turns out like this monstrosity.
Is there a good way to easily add some curvature so this? Thanks!
The problem I see with using an SVG file, that the once it gets converted to a mesh the topology is going to be a mess, mostly long triangles that are not going to deform or subdivide well.
It might be easier to use an image to do the displacement on a sphere (and use it also to create the texture).
After I followed the instruction on how to deform a curve to a sphere, but before you apply the deforms, simply convert the curve to a mesh then use a remesh modifier. Then when you deform you get this, with a nice curve all the way around. Thanks to @ChameleonScales for the help!
