I’ve tried using Zaxwerks and I get the same results. I set up a sphere with the ‘use comp camera’ switched on and it looks 2D. I set up a camera to do a 360 degree pan around the sphere and it’s still 2D.
As for just using the XYZ rotate axis on CC Sphere, that doesn’t really do it either since I’ll still need a camera to move into other parts of the comp.
