Hello,

How would you model a puzzle (jigsaw) that is shaped like a ball.
Is there an obvious easy way that i missed or...?

i'm using Max 6

The puzzle parts should look like puzzle bits usually do

I suspect this could be easily faked with a normal or displacement map. Do they need to be real pieces?

Hi,

Here's a visual reference for you:

On the same page, at the bottom, there's a link to a PDF file which might help you even further.

I think this will give you an idea.

Hi,

Try to work on flat plans of the puzzle, make 6 plane box, group it and then try to put the Spherfiy modifier on it - and put on 100%
