help with an animated golf ball?
I need a white animated golf ball. I have some digital juice and in one of the ETK Sports there is a golf ball with an alpha channel. I can put a white sphere behind it, but one problem. The ball doesn’t rotate symmetrically on its axis. I really don’t want to keyframe a solid to stay behind the ball, especially if I have to loop it.
Is there a golf ball out there I can download, or can I make one in AE CS3? I saw tutorials for it in animation programs

I can’t call it up again. May have been a youtube video, but I am sure it was 3D studio max. It was pretty convincing.

I made an animated golf ball in AE CS3 using CC Sphere and mapping a texture that I made in photoshop and then ran through the texturizer filter (in photoshop). Basically I made a bunch of blurry dots and then saved that out and used it as the filter in texturizer. Then I saved out that texture as a psd layer, imported it into AE and used it as the surface for the golf ball. It took a little of experimenting with lighting and all that but it did the trick without having to go into a 3d program. Creative Cow has a tutorial on how to make a globe. I used this as a reference but used the golf ball surface instead of a world map. Good luck.

There is a golf ball in this set of projects that can be animated in Zaxwerks and looks fantastic.

does it need to be 3D with dimensional dimples? Anne’s advice is dead-on for creating a totally convincing golf ball.
