3D text Rotating around an existing object

It isn’t 3D. It was an image layed over a “sphere” with the CC Sphere. To get the text to go around I did as you said and used the 3D text animation ‘Rotate Around Circle”. I will keep plugging away at it.
It will do what I need it to for quite some time, as the video gets compressed and hosted, so it won;t be that critical.

Well mate…I´m gonna go and fall now but tomorrow I can make a video from a to z so we can compare and tell the differences.
So…see ya in the morning mate. Brake glasses.

Hi guys, I’m relatively new to After Effects. I have been able to make a rotating earth and some rotating text. For the life of me, I can’t figure out how to make it so the next does not show when behind the globe. I have searched for the last few hours and tried all sorts of stuff. Can anyone point me in the right direction. I assume the answer has to do with Masks, but I put in a mask it also masks out the earth.
Thanks

Did you watch the video where I explain (or try to) what I did in this very topic?
I used a 3D text preset. No masks envolved at all.
Long story short:
1 – Precompose the earth layer and make it 3D.
2 – turn your text 3D as well and position it right in front of your earth precomp.
3 – Apply 3D Rotate around Circle (type it on your effects and presets tab and it should show)
4 – Adjust Z position and the scale of the text so it fits your earth (feels like a god doesn´t it? not really…haha)5 – It shall then work
Hope it helps.
Cheers.

Don´t feel like that mate!
We are always learning.
Did you get where you were trying to get?
Cheers!
And this time with a beer in my hand.

Worked Great.
Now I am going to try to add some depth to the text.
