At the center of the first circle, create another circle perpendicular with the first circles plane. Red moves the material, green scales the material on the x axis, blue scales the material on the y axis and yellow distorts the material. This is a tutorial for the technique I use to texture Spheres. As a SketchUp user, you should be able to draw a sphere from scratch in just a couple of seconds.

Step4) Select your material from the materials window and paint it on the surface you created in step 2ĤA) Paint the material onto the surface from step 2.ĤB) Right click the material and select texture then position.ĤC) Align the material to the surface using the 4 pins.
