Just found out about this plugin, its not directly related to what I’m trying to do, but it makes me think there might be a way to construct a spherical projection of an image as a layer through the python api and have brush strokes projected back onto the original image. Much like this plugin it would be kind of slow, but I haven’t made much progress in my mod yet and I still don’t feel very close to having a working solution. > [@Plugin: Blender Layer - Live 3d View in Krita](https://krita-artists.org/t/plugin-blender-layer-live-3d-view-in-krita/63394): > > Blender Layer v1.0.1 (Krita 5.2.6 fix) Blender Layer is a plugin that allows you to stream 3D View from Blender into Krita, behaving like a normal layer: You can trace over it, change the blending mode and even apply layer styles!
