A person should be able to detach 1 part and enter it and person outside should be able to attach it back. If the sphere rolls then part should not detach. Air should pass in the sphere. Design should be in a way easy to produce. It should be very attractive for viewers. Advice me the material to be used.

This is fully Enclosed. Sphere. Like a soccer ball. Definitely, parts sizes will be different for 3 different spheres. But, their shapes would be same. Minimum number of part types. There should be 4 entry exit points. Top, Bottom, Right and Left. I think, the part shape of these points should be different than all others. I believe so. But, designs and ideas should come from designers. The ball would be rolling with weight in it. So, Keep in mind attachments of parts during assembly. That these parts don't detach while the ball is rolling. Also, keep in point 4 parts ( Entry and Exit points). These parts will be regularly attached and detached for entry and exit. So, they should be attached in a very secure manner. At the same time, the ball surface should be smooth from inside and outside.
