    Hi, I’m trying to do something like that

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etx-RpljyaU

    I don’t know if there are some plugin to do that, I try to do with expression but I don’t have enough experience. I need the project can change ease the contents and object movement.

    Like I said, I tried to do a sphere and link text to that object, but I don’t get the result that I want.
    If someone have any idea, I would be very grateful.

    I thinking if is better to do this in other soft like Smoke, because it works in 3D space; making first the sphere in Maya and export like FBX. Maybe this way works best for what I want.
    I await your answer, thanks.

    You could create the sphere from 3D text layers, parent them to a null and have them auto orient to the camera.

    if you wanted an easy way to get the words arranged in a sphere, you might look at these scripts:

    you’d also need to set the layers to auto orient to the camera, as brian mentions.
