  rotate text around sphere

  Posted by Filip Tomic on December 21, 2014 at 1:55 pm

  Yes I know this question has been asked before but I have a different case.
  I shot a person kicking a soccer ball right at the high speed camera. I want to add text at the ball as it nears towards the camera. I tried CC Sphere but since it wraps the whole text into a sphere it’s no use (I want all the letters ‘BKZ’ to be shown at some point) . So what would be the easiest way for a beginner?

  — if cc sphere works apart from the fact that you dont want the lettering to go all thje way round then suggest you btry eithrt

  1 ) adding spaces either side OR

  2 ) adding dots either side OR

  3 ) adding vtransparent letters either side …….

  …………… good luck —-chris —-

  Or make the sphere from a nested comp. Geometrically a sphere is twice as wide as it is tall so make the nested comp that proportion.

  For example:
