Default spheres looking more like ovals?
ronaldefarmer:
The problem that I have with the default sphere is that textures are always distorted near the axis. But I see what you mean about the topology.

Maybe you should upload one so one of us can take a look. I can't imagine a sphere made on yours looks fine but not on ours.

Kyle,
Here is another sphere plugin similar to Anim8or's default sphere. It is a Blender sphere. I'm not really sure it is better than Anim8or's sphere. Give it a try.
ronaldefarmer:
I was just checking out Anim8or's native sphere plugin using the new CAD ruler. I see that in front view, the "Y" dimension measures a bit longer than "X" when there is an odd number of latitude divisions simply because the ruler measures from face to face in "X", and point to point in "Y." As you would expect, a sphere with an even number of latitude divisions measures the same in "X" as in "Y." The plugin seems to work correctly, for me at least.
The reason I don't ordinarily use these spheres is because they look odd near the poles when subdivided, especially when textures are applied.

I hadn't realized you folks were talking about textured spheres, so my comment is worthless. I'll have to pay more attention. Probably has something to do with those pesky triangles near the poles. ;-)
