I need to composite and animate a circle of links (like in chain links or bracelate links) spinning around the earth spinning in one direction and the earth spinning in the opposite direction.
I have a Planet.X file and a chainlink.png file, however I can't seem to place the Planet.x inside the Png circle (duh! I guess because it's 2D).
What's the trick? Do I need a Chainlink.eps file or a chainlink.x for the 3D effect and if so where can I find the material (or technique) I need.
It's for an organization that aspires to have "links" around the world and donates to disaster victims (flood, earthquake, hunger, etc.) around the world.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
All layers must have a 3D property. Set the 'link' pic property to Cylinder (top left listbox), move the planet.x inside the cylinder (position parameter) then for each layer set the rotation property (1st slider), like that i think it'll be ok.
