I would like to make planets like I did in GIMP (see image below)
Final result in GIMP
but in Krita I can’t find a “sphere designer” or a sphere map/render/generator (I’m new to Krita)
but I came across this post on this forum: PyQt5 - Bitmap Mask Operations - #20 by EyeOdin which made me think there might be one, but I am not able to find it.
Thanks for reading
Perhaps that wasn’t finished and made available as a usable plug-in?
@EyeOdin would be able to tell you that.
In the meantime, you can run krita and GIMP at the same time and Copy-Paste selections between them.
Or throw Exported .png files between them and open the .png files as new layers in the destination application.
Hey, I did something with a sphere but it is pre rendered. You can’t generate new ones with it.
The sphere I did is a colour picker under pre made lighting conditions and you can adjust the colours with a fake baked light from the mask. The original sphere was made in Blender where I rendered it and then made each pass into a layer. All layers composed give you the Sphere colour picker. So it is a fake sphere in 2d. I wanted to make more objects just have not decided on what.
If your curious abou it is in the pigmento plugin in the OBJ panel.
@AhabGreybeard I did not know that we can copy/paste on the fly between GIMP and Krita (I did try just now), nice trick, thank you.
I’m already very curious, but what is the “OBJ” panel?
@EyeOdin Thank you for your input
The panel is the GUI section to select colours. You have various modes for it like RGB, HSV and such and the last one is OBJ as in object and the default one is a Sphere.
If you know how to make masks you can edit those is User and have your own object picker. The manual explains the layout order and such. You can make any shape really and paint the mask after on the fly. It’s funny I still need to make a tutorial on it better later on though.
But the jist is go to the user folder edit the images inside it, save and let it update. The select a colour for that mask you saved
In case you don’t know, you’ll need to install the Pigment.O plugin:
There are all sorts of plugins available.
I did not know, thanks, I was searching in all the Krita’s menu, 
I just found it GitHub - EyeOdin/Pigment.O: Krita - Plugin - Color Picker and Mixer Now I see what @EyeOdin was speaking about (the last picture on github is a sphere)
I’ve discover that G’MIC does it (ball), I will stay “classic” 
In all cases, Thanks a lot to both of you.
