Creating a sphere out of six planes

Yes I tried also = , its nearly the same result. What do you mean by one plane? Its common to use six planes to create a sphere out of it, never heard of just one plane. The cube you see there is made of 6 planes, so there is every direction included, but you see the result :/

If you tried it on just one plane, you'd get just one of those shallow bowl shaped meshes. It would be easier to see any problems. Once that worked, you could copy it, rotated to make the other 5 "faces."

I tried it with just one plane, with 6 seperated and with a high poly cube. All is the same result, it has nothing to do with orientation or position :/ I make no progress, yesterday tried the whole day how to create the sphere. But its always nearly the same result as you see above.

I used this code now :

    for (var i = 0; i < vertices.Length; i++)
    {

         vertices[i] =     Vector3(vertices[i].x*($$anonymous$$athf.Sqrt(
                                     1-($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].y,2) / 2)
                                     - ($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].z,2) / 2)
                                     + (($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].y,2) * $$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].z,2)) / 3))),
                                 vertices[i].y*($$anonymous$$athf.Sqrt(
                                     1-($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].z,2) / 2)
                                     - ($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].x,2) / 2)
                                     + (($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].z,2) * $$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].x,2)) / 3))),
                                 vertices[i].z*($$anonymous$$athf.Sqrt(
                                     1-($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].x,2) / 2)
                                     - ($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].y,2) / 2)
                                     + (($$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].x,2) * $$anonymous$$athf.Pow(vertices[i].y,2)) / 3))));
                                     
 
    }

And the result is that:

Your code above works perfectly -- I tried it on a high-poly cube, with (0,0,0) in the center. It deforms it into a perfect sphere, keeping the same lighting as when it was a cube.

I can't think of a use for it. Normal mapping works fine on regular spheres.

Bump maps work perfectly on a sphere. But if you want to create a Planet, you need mountains, hills, craters, canyons and so on. I want to do that with a highmap. That cant be used on a sphere, but on 6 pla nes that are then formed to a sphere. Thats the usual way how to do it. Also normal spheres got too much disortion.

I wonder why this is working for you ... Its not working for me o.o.

I try that for days now and want to know what i do wrong, if my code is correct --

okay improvement, now time to sleep ,lucid dream timeeeeeeee, anyways so before starting on the inspector mode, simple change the amount to 0.5f, and with one refresh on a high poly cube will make it nicely perfect sphere, well like 80%perfect, it kinda expands the cube making it more suitable rather than shrinking it to sphere which isnt good

doesnt seem to work on planes tho, it has the same issue in blender,works fine with cubes..sorry

But whats the tryu() function? o.o

(meant to be try kinda hurried cuz it was sleep time) and wohoo atm i managed to get the spherical thing working with both a cube and a plane, it just applies your code to the object many times u want, once u have it working just once then you can just put it in start function, of course u gotta change the amount too, where it goes is Vector3(vertices[i].x/ amount *.... <-- each time u calculating a vertice position, then change ur amount to 0.5 in inspector and it shud work once (for plane into spherical form) and for cube well u have to run it and then refresh it again in the inspector to make it a sphere,, plane =1 refresh, cube = 2 refresh, atm im trying to apply random heights for each plane and sorry if i dnt make sense
