Create an OBJ of the Earth mainland to use with Plexus in After Effects
We all know that you can create points from an OBJ model using Plexus in After Effects right? But what if you just wanted the Plexus effect to cover a sphere so it looks like the mainland of the Earth?
I just thought about creating a sphere in C4D with loads of segments, making it editable, applying a texture map of the mainland and deleting all of the verts that are in the sea – that sounds like a long process and I’m sure somebody out there has an easier solution.
Any suggestions?

import a vector as a path, extrude with regular grid creating the vertex density you need, delete sides + back then apply a sphere modifier.
