Globe open up to flat earth map ?
Hallo all ,
Im still trying to do this , but id like to hear some advice/tips on how to do it properly.I have a 3d rotating on its axis earth animation , and an image of a flat globe map.
I am trying to make the image of the flat globe map open up from the 3d round earth animation.. so I have to distort the image somehow to a round form.. any ideas?Thanks in advance !

Try Conoa 3D. There sphere allows you to unwrap the surface. It’s a commercial plugin, though.

You might try the cylinder plugin. It is one of the Cycore effects that comes with AE 6.5.

Hey dude ,
I got Conoa Powerpak , but I cant seem to find the wrap option in any of the spheres. I can only use wrap with the cylinder and thats no good for me.
any idea on what to do ?thanks

You could try creating a comp with a looped earthmap sliding left to right. Then create a new comp and drag the earthloop in. Use both sphere and bezier distort (wrap the corners back to a round shape) to get a “sphere-like” look that can unwrap nice. Add a light to the scene to get 3D depth. Let me know how it works.
