Create sphere with image mapped inside…
I have a bunch of 3D layers with a camera moving around looking at them. I want them to appear to be in outer space. I have an image of stars, currently I have 6 copies of this image creating a box around everything else so no matter what angle you are looking at there is always stars in the background which looks really cool as the camera moves around. However I think it would be much better if I could warp the image into a sphere around everything instead of a box…does this make sense?
Is there a way?
Thanks!!!

Alright, I think I will just use the boxes I set up… with the stars at least it looks decent enough. That horizon plug-in looks cool, but I think I’ll hold off on purchasing it for now.
Thanks.

Horizon is great.
If you have Particular, there is a preset you can look at that puts a bunch of stars way off in the distance and it works with AE’s camera too.– The Great Szalam

Add some very cool perspective to your project easily. Create a couple of additional layers of stars with much fewer stars and maybe a couple of them slightly larger, and place this layer half the z distance from the existing box’s surfaces. Now as you move the camera, there will be a foreground layer of stars that moves against the background.
another thing that adds incredible drama to the standard ho-hum starfield is a couple of images of galaxy clusters.

Did you ever find a solution to this problem?
