  • How to make a globe morph into a flat surface !?

    Hey!
    I’ve been given this storyboard where the client wants a globe to “unwrap” into a planified map of the earth. I’ve been trying to think up of a solution for that effect to no avail, thought i’d ask around here if anyone’s got any idea how to do this!

    I think it can only be done with plugins in AE, check this thread: https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/997863#997863

    IF you have access to cinema 4D- you could try this: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/19/858719?univpostid=858718&pview=t

    Think Transition Template you can change the Photos on either side. Like Avid Studio/Pinnacle HD 15 there are presets from third party. Might find one built.I know there is a flat to a globe over there. Might be able to reverse it. Time remap.
    ‘Maybe a transition over in AE? make your Globe and city plan in 3d over in AI? Use a transition to get them to go from globe to flat plan. Maybe an effect keyframed?

    Amazing! Thanks for the help! I’ve managed to do it by using the zaxwerks 3D Grid for this! 😉
