parent rotation to CC Sphere object
Hi everyone
In my current project, I am an Earth created with CC sphere which rotates and a target and country name appears.
What I’m trying to do is simply have the target and text follow the Earth rotation. But since the layer is not 3D, I’m having trouble doing simple parenting.
Any idea how I can do this ?
Thanks

It would be best to create a null object, then create expressions for CC Sphere’s rotations to connect this rotation to the null’s rotation.
Then parent whatever you want to this null, and when you rotate the null – the sphere rotates accordingly, and the child of the null rotates as well.Animate the null instead of animating CC sphere’s properties

Using two spheres, on inside the other, is a fabulously cool solution. Hardly anyone understands it’s possible to do just by putting one layer on top of the other and making the spheres different sizes.
Also, my usual contribution to the Earth Sphere paradigm:
Be sure you have the planet rotating properly so the sun rises in the east.bogiesan

Originally I didn’t want the text to be curved, more like float in space, but I tried your solution and it works well. thanks a lot for the help Dave and David.
As for the Earth rotation, don’t worry Im not making it rotate, it’s really the “camera” that flies around the earth.
Thanks again

I’m not using the camera, I just meant I’m animating the thing to make it look like the camera is moving around the Earth, hence the quotes around the word camera.
Thanks anyways though 🙂
