Now that Gaea’s getting tools for building larger-scale worlds, I was wondering whether it would be possible to create spherical worlds in Gaea (as a 2D projection of a 3D sphere, of course), and whether this could be done without distortion? For example, there’s a tiling method using hexagons and pentagons that can form a sphere without any noticeable distortion.
Would hexagonal and pentagonal tiling, as an alternative option to square tiling, be a possibility? Or is there some other method that would allow Gaea to produce spherical worlds? I’d be very interested to know if something like this is being considered.
