How to put text in orbit around a planet

[Mattiaz]

same plugin different parameters and masks maybe?

I would map some text out using 3D assistants over two different layers into a ring, and then mask out the top layer’s behind the globe portion.

Another way… Use CC Cylinder. Same procedure.

Knock it off! I like my radio and television the way it is…

I forgot to mention, I did use the cc sphere plugin and it works great except that I want the title to circle the globe at an angle … when I rotate the text it rotates at the angle but not correctly. for instance if I use a 30 degree angle it is not consistent all the way around … hard to explain, hope this does so/

Thx

Angle the text in a wide (twice as wide as high) comp, then use that comp as the layer to which CC (try cylinder) is applied?

(Check Brian’s old “what the helix going on?” tutorial.

I got a nice result using Zaxworks Invigorator pro and the CC Sphere.
Make the sphere with large world map. Then create a project in Zaxworks which consists of a sphere and your text. You have to put them both in the same “parcel” (I forgot the name of the term) and they will rotate together. The sphere in Zax has to be smaller than the sphere diameter of Sphere. THen apply an invisible layer map which makes the sphere invisible, but the text seems to be spinning in space. Add this layer behind the CC sphere and since the Zax program is 3d, it looked pretty good.
