    sphere filled

    Hello.
    I'm trying to turn a logo (sphere effect).
    I can not use (sphere filled) to make the turn from right to left (do not know how to prepare the file so that when applied to the sphere rotate properly).
    If I use the x, y, z to place it correctly, do not get the proper rotation.
    Can you help.

    a greeting

    The sphere fill effect takes your entire piece of content and maps it across the entire sphere. If you only want the content across part of the sphere you have two options.

    Option 1
    1. Assign the logo to layer 32 (layer numbers are arbitrary)
    2. Assign the logo background to later 31 (in case you want a bg for your logo)
    3. Assign layers 31 and 32 to mix 2 (mix numbers are arbitrary)
    4. Make Mix 2 invisible (or hide out of program area)
    5. At bottom of mix2 window set Render Options to "On - submixes - all active mixes"
    6. Assign layer 30 to mix 1
    7. Make mix 1 your primary output
    8. Assign layer 30 to the folder "Use Layer" and choose mix 32 as it's file (DMX 061)
    9. Use VFX 10 Sphere Filled for Layer 30
    10. Adjust scale, aspect, and position of Logo and bg (layers 31,32)
    11. Adjust the rotation and position of the sphere in Layer 30

    Option 2
    Use your favorite 3D animation program to create a new sphere 3D object and adjust your UV map to that the content will be located the way you want it. Then export the new 3D object as an OBJ file. Then place this new object into the Catalyst user objects folder. Search "adding custom object" in the forum. Then you can use your new 3D object with your logo in a single layer solution.

    The problem, in my humble opinion, is that if you move the object in any axes (xyz), also move the axes, and do not know how to rotate in a certain position.
    I used many years, the media server Coolux Pandora Box and does not change the position of the axis when rotating the sphere, so you have more control over what you do.

    A greeting and thank you very much for your wonderful information (so we can have a little more control over the positioning of the logos), but still the problem to move the axes x, y, z.
