I created the patterns in Flash, used after effects to render them out and then wrapped them as textures round a sphere in Cinema 4d and used the VR cam to render it out.
@Della Wehner Is the Veer editor a phone app? I've watched some output from it and it looks really good. Not sure my phone could handle it. A desktop app would be amazing.
This graphic looks unique ! But maybe you could shorten the render process by input your textures into Veer editor and directly upload it from this app.
