    Default Create this fill with three shapes

    I wanted a sphere that reversed itself. The stereogram shows the shape I wanted and the depth image shows the shape I created with three objects.

    Anyone want to guess how I did this?

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    I failed so far and zooming in didn't help me much although I understand what haqndrawn saw.

    OK.

    1. I created a circle with a 4px outline, no fill. I converted the circle to shapes separated the circle in the center so that I had two arcs.
    2. I added a 4px line in the center and added a point in the center.The two arcs and the line were converted to shapes.
    3. I applied a circular fill changing the outside colors so that one fill was lighter in the center and the bottom one darker in the center. The inside colors and the line/shape are all 50% black.
    4. The line/shape also had a circular fill but both inside and out were 50% black.
    5. I blended the top arc to the line/shape, and then the bottom arc to the line shape.
    6. Then I increased the number of blend steps to create a smooth shape.

    blending - I thought so as soon as I saw those markings and the fading along the circumference either side of the 'equator' ends - but not sure exactly how you had put it together

    nicely done
