Stipple portraits

I want to transform graphic projects into sculptures in the shape of a sphere. Converting the image into dots or circles is the perfect solution for me. The sphere would then resemble a miniature planetarium. This program is the only one that allows for the placement of circles without overlapping, making it possible to later recreate the pattern by drilling holes. By utilizing circle packing, it is the cleanest and most cohesive solution in line with the idea of a sphere. I would map the resulting image onto a 3D model of the sphere in a 3D software and then onto a physical object using four projectors and projection mapping technique. If this solution is not feasible for me, I will utilize the method from this link. Packing Algorithms in Rhino + Grasshopper - YouTube
