I have over two years of experience studying GEGL. As a result I am skilled in making GEGL plugins and now can make plugins that are based on extremely complex GEGL Graphs such as this sphere generator. An Advance GEGL Plugin that generates spheres. Under the hood this has a ton of GEGL nodes connecting in confusing ways. I'm proud of myself for taking the time to develop this.

NOTE, THIS PLUGIN REQUIRES THE LATEST VERSION OF GEGL EFFECTS
AND WILL BREAK THE OLD VERSION OF GEGL EFFECTS INNER GLOW IF YOU AREN'T USING THE LATEST VERSION OF GEGL EFFECTS. To be safe and not break things you can download GEGL Inner Glow's binary here by updating GEGL Effects by grabbing these zip files.
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Effects---Layer-Effects-in-Gimp-using-GEGL/releasesWindows_Binaries_GEGL_Effects__CE_June_10th_2023_stable.zip or
Linux_Binaries_GEGL_Effects__CE_June_10th_2023_stable.zipOVERWRITE ALL OLD GEGL EFFECTS BINARIES AND ALL THE NEW ONES.
AFTER UPDATING YOU SHOULD HAVE
LB:INNER GLOW, and
LB:BEVELNext you need to download the normal binary for sphere which is here
https://github.com/LinuxBeaver/GEGL-Spheres---Render-Spheres-in-Gimp/releasesDirectory to Put Binaries (they don't work in Gimp's normal plugin directory.

GEGL Sphere has three modes, sphere, which contains sphere settings lighting and image file overlay. Inner Glow, that contains Inner Glow settings and Shadow that is Gimp's default drop shadow. In the first GUI Part "sphere" there is an HSL Color mode that overwrites hue rotation and a separate hue rotation that only works on image file overlays. Once you get the hang of that you will understand the filter. Read the description about HSL Color and Hue rotation mode conflicting. That is the only tricky part about this plugin.
have fun and if you don't mind post screenshots of sphere and test its egg mode. Once again, I am deeply concerned about GEGL Inner Glow breaking, but if you have lb:bevel and lb:inner glow you are fine.
