#LW3D-World Animation
I am volunteering on a project for The Salvation Army that requires an
animations of a spinning world in space. We then need to zoom in to a close up
of the North American continent.
I have a star field framestore for the background but I have spent little time
using Lightwave 3D so I need help to create the animation. I know how to load
objects, move the objects and create simple animations, however, I am not sure
of what is the best way to get an image of the earth on a ball object. Do I use
an image map or a bump map? Can I framestore a map of the earth and then
apply that image to the ball? What do I do?
As you can see I'm not quite sure how to do this and any help to guide me in
the right direction will be appreciated. Please help anyone!
