I am looking either for a 3D globe object with continents or a fully rendered
3D globe spinning. I've seen the demo of the globe where you can change the
rotational axis and that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a
very good looking globe with green continents and a blue ocean if I can find
it.
If someone has the object or even the rendered anim, please drop me a line.
Since this may be used in a project, there may be some compensation in it for
the author of either of the above.
If I can't find the above, does anyone know how I can snap a flat bunch of
Continent objects to a sphere? I've tried in Sculpt 4D but without any luck.
I have all the continents as a single object extruded but flat. What I need
now is to bend them around a globe or sphere type object. We want the
continents to have some depth.
Email address is in my signature.

Kara has just put out a package of animated starfields. included is an animbrush of the spinning globe. It is an excelent package... For the price ( under 50$ ) you couldn't reproduce the work yourself!.. Its not a 3d object but p[erhaps it will suit your need.

There is a Sculpt 4D animator, Tony Dispoto, who teaches classes at Amy Expo and who'd worked closely w/ byte by byte. He created a globe, a sculpt 4D object file that is sold alone. I saw it some months back at the local Amiga store, HT Electronics in Sunnyvale CA 408-737-0900. Give them a call. I think it was about $30.00. Else you may want to call byte by byte in dallas and ask them if they still work with Tony.
