    Recipe: Gores

    I have posted the app on here about Gores before but its for taking a world map (usually one with a 2:1 aspect ratio) and then it projects it into something which has these "leaves" which you cut out and then paste it on to a ball to make a globe. You can use better apps like GProjector and others but this one is pretty easy to use. You set the number of gore leaves to use.

    This is one where you can use the attachment id thing. So lets use
    https://www.cartographersguild.com/a...6&d=1610625037
    So by entering the ID 127766 (its sort of cut off from the link above but if you click on it or hover the mouse you will see it) into the attachment ID box it should load up the guild world map.

    When setting the number of gores to 12 then after processing it gives this:

    Which if someone wants to print, cut out and then and wrap around a ball then do post your result !

    And it would help if the image didn't have the black border around the image. So if your doing this for a proper project then use a proper world map with just the land masses and seas. Also, use a nice high res image as it doesn't have nice edges on the gores if using a low res image.
