Hello. If I have a ball and I remove a cube out of it, properly offset so
that the result is a half-ball, then merely retexturing a sphere (the
surface of a ball) can't get you in any way to the surface of a
half-ball, because the surface of a half-ball isn't a half-sphere or
any subset of a sphere. What's missing is a disc (filled circle) put
exactly where the half-ball was cut, in order to close it.
