All the pictures are large, sorry
First off we will need to open cinema 4D and add a sphere from our shapes. like the picture shows:

Now that we have our sphere shape we need to add a texture to it. So go to "create" and then "new material" at the bottom of the window.

Now at the right side we should have the texture open. click the little arrow which is circled and go to "load image".

Now a file dialog should show up. Save this image (below) and load it up:
(i cannot remember where i found the picture, think it was just Google)

Drag that new material from the bottom of the screen onto the object (the sphere) like the picture shows:

And that's it! the picture is not clear in the editor but as soon as you render it its fine. For example here is a render preview of this one:

Nice tutorial, however, it is very simple what you are explaning and the most people that are using C4D already know how to do this. It will help out people who are new to C4D!
