I was confusely thinking that we could try to replace an area of a geometrical object with another with modifying the texture of both, and assembling them, or adjusting the alpha values for doing a similar effect. But I've seen through some tests that this is maybe too tricky (for me at least and others certainly...),
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.
