Go into object mode and select that face, and then the globe, and press CTRL J
#How do i make this connect?

Now i dont have much knownledge for this one, but im pretty sure the Shrinkwrap modifier can do that
Nice

If i understand your issue correctly, that's not going to work for you because that video is talking about deformations around a single axis, in the case of the video the Z axis. What you're asking is how do you deform a surface around a globe which is more than one axis. What @gleaming sun has explained to you is correct - a shrinkwrap modifier is what you're needing. You just need to make sure that you have sufficient subdivisions on the plane to have it deform smoothly. You can add a simple subdivision modifier before the shrinkwrap modifier and adjust the level of detail until you have the desired result

Yea
Or just a bigger mass
More verticies basically
So a subdivision set to simple
Maybe set the levels in viewport more than zero
To like 3 or something, or else blender can crash
vestal python
this is loop cuts. you need in both directions
oh, and the modifier you need to have it in the viewport also
gleaming sun
When you add more subdivisions, the mass of the object increases. So the more subdivisions, the more heavier it gets. Its like resolution.

Yes, if you just add loopcuts along one axis, it will only bend along one axis
vestal python
yes but you need to add them in both axis
using the simple subdivision modifier gives you more control and is non-destructive
depending on what your goal is, you could either duplicate the faces on your mesh that you already ahve and make them into their own object, or just assign a different material to the area you're trying to modify
What is your end goal here? Describe in detail what you're trying to achieve and maybe we can give you a simpler solution?
right, so when you say a decal do you mean like grafitti on a surface or an actual 3D object sticking out of the surface?
ahh i see. try this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bqXm0kFakls never tried this addon before though and its $10
but you could just as easy duplicate the faces from the original mesh and/or extrude
are you trying to make the R2D2 specifically?
i think you're overcomplicating it by trying to have one mesh conform to another
as ive said numerous times previously - take the existing mesh from your dome and duplicate/extrude the faces in the shape you need
select, shit+d to duplicate, P -> selected
