i recommend downloading to see all detail. also, large file size, sorry if it takes long._______________________________________________________________________________________________
i actually can't believe it's been just over four years since my last tutorial. wow, amazing how fast time flies.
anyways, this is a pretty simple tutorial where i show you how to take any 2x1 planet texture and make it seamless for wrapping onto a sphere.
it's very simple, you could do it in less than 5 mins once you understand the process.
hope this helps. any questions are welcomed and will be responded to quickly so please feel free to ask if you have any inquiries on the method.
also, special thanks to those who helped me get over the issue with the polar pinching. without their help, the tutorial may have never been completed.

Finally got a chance to use this one today. For GIMP users, the Polar Coordinates Filter is under Tools -> Distorts -> Polar Coordinates. There is no "Rectangular to Polar" or "Polar to Rectangular" options; rather, there is a checkbox labeled "To polar". Check it to go from rectangle to polar; uncheck it to go back.
Really nice, clear tutorial Alpha-Element . I didn't read the part about Blender distortion until I got to the end, but I guess I'll see how bad the pinching is when I try applying my texture to a sphere. Can't wait!
