  Animating Text

  Posted by Gutstrut on November 28, 2005 at 6:13 pm

  Hello,

  I made a spinning earth using the cc sphere plugin and now I want to add text to the animation. The globe is spinnig and I want to have text spin out from behind it. I tried using the cc cylinder plugin but it does not allow you to adjust the cylinder to make it flat again, at least I could not get it to.

  I was wondering how to do this or what plugin I need to do this. I basically want to have the text come from behind the earth and have the same curve and then start to uncurve and stop in the front.

  Hopefully thats not confusing,

  Thanks for your time.

  One way you could fake this is with bezier warp.

  Conoa has a pay-for plugin called sphere, or something similar, which may do what you want. Don’t know if it will work on text or whether you may have to pre-render the layer ..
