CC Sphere allows you to map a flat object onto a sphere, while also giving you control over lighting, shading, and rotation. Import your flat image and place it into your composition.Īdd the CC Sphere effect by going to Effect > Perspective > CC Sphere. (If motion isn’t your thing, you can also check out this tutorial on creating 3D spheres in Illustrator.)Ĭreate a new project and composition in After Effects. I used this this image from contributor _EG_. You’ll need two things: a basic knowledge of After Effects, and a flattened image of Earth. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Shutterstock assets to create a 3D animated globe.
On the contrary, he said that he made the map from a globe, which explains how a north-pole centered azimuthal equidistant map is designed.After Effects offers some pretty amazing tools to help your 2D images come to life in a 3D environment. 497,917 by Alexander Gleasonįrom the registered patent, he never mentioned that the Earth is flat. “The extorsion of the map from that of a globe consists, mainly in the straightening out of the meridian lines allowing each to retain their original value from Greenwich, the equator to the two poles.” -US Patent No. Gleason might have claimed that the map is the “flat-Earth map” but his explanation written in his patent for the map is contradictory:
The author was a flat-Earther who claimed the map as the “flat Earth map.” In reality, the map is just a normal azimuthal equidistant map centered on the North Pole.įrom the map’s patent, we know the author was aware and in full knowledge that the map was just a projection of the spherical Earth, contradictory to the claims in his book. The so-called “Gleason Map” is an old map published in the 19th century.
