I am weird!
I am trying to do something that no one else in the world appears to be trying to do!
Alternatively it could just be that I am ignorant

Either way, I have a problem that your software may be able to help me with so this is the reason for writing, to pose my problem and for you to tell me if your software can do the trick.
I have a collection of images. Different images that are unconnected.
I want to be able to print them all over a ball.
I don't mind manually knocking one up by printing an image using gores, cutting it out and sticking it on.
So, the problem is, how to create the image that I need to print.
From a software pov, the input is a number of images (approx 160 - e.g. http://www.pragmaticea.com/peaf-models-m.asp) that need to be spaced out and projected onto a 2D sphere adn then that "3D model" to be converted into a flat image that can then be converted into a gore print that I can then print!
Can you help in anyway or point me in the right direction!!????
