I wrote an article for "Puppet Life" which is the news letter for the Los Angeles Guild of Puppetry on just this subject. In it I proposed one way to mathematically create a pattern for a sphere of any size, or number of pieces. I think it mostly just made people's heads hurt. I think it is a technique that is really only practical for large pieces that use a lot of foam, but if anyone is interested, I will forward them a copy. because of the drawings, I can't post it here.
