Thanks

Hi Vince,

I am trying to create a spinning globe where as the globe spins the customers locations for installations light up, I came across your post with Boris Sphere, sounds like you figured something out. I was going to import the spinning globe/sphere from 3DS Max, map a layer for the globe, and a layer for white stars (transparent), then use a ray plugin that moves with the camera to create rays of the stars, similar to the Universal Logo at Youtube /watch?v=IaKpzB1XAkM

Did you create your sphere in AE? Any pointers you can share on your success?

Any help would be much appreciated!!

I am getting Blair’s tutorial as we speak, but I thought I’d play with your approach also it sounds promising. I’m thinking, I Start with the 3D Sphere, map both layers with Boris Sphere, then apply a Trapcode Ray effect that moves with the camera as the sphere spins lighting up the layer of the stars?

I found the post above that would indicate it could work.

Thanks Again!!

Mike
