Same texture used on all UV mapped surfaces

Hi Maciej - isn’t this about the same problem as

Unroll 3d model with texture

Hello, I have some 3d sphere that I would like to unroll from 3d to 2d and print it on paper. Size of sphere is 80cm in diameter. I managed to split sphere to 8 equal objects and print it 1:1 without texture applied. My question is how can I unroll object with applied texture on it? So I can print that parts with high resolution textures on it. Is there some solution for this within Rhino or some plug-in for Rhino that can do this? For now the only possible way was to unroll texture manually a…

with the sphere split up differently? You’d still need to apply a spherical mapping to the overall object to get the texture to sit right - or am I misunderstanding the problem?
