3D ball Styles

[stranger2156]

Two styles of 3D ball (for one and for two photos / pictures). Only rotation is present in styles. All other movements shown in the demo are configured locally by you.

P.S. Style created from Patrick's YouTube tutorial. The link to the lesson is indicated in the description of the demo video.

Thank you Paul. These look like fun.

Thanks for your generosity Paul!

I like the idea of a spinning globe and can see a use in my presentations.

Thanks Paul for providing these two styles. Looks very interresant.
Greetings from the neighboring place.

Thanks Paul for creating these styles. 

I hope you don't mind I have translated all the objects into English and re-created the style in English to help understand how it is put together.

Gogs, would you mind sharing? My Russian and skills are not so good! Where do you get the translation from?

Rosemary, Kieron, Berny, Gogs thanks for your comments!

Of course I don't mind, Gogs.

Today I started a series of tutorials on my forum on how to create this style, how I did it. The lesson is in Russian, but you can translate the subtitles into your native language in your YouTube player. Perhaps this will also be useful for understanding the whole process.

Rosemary,

If you refer to the Youtube Tutorials, then it is clicking the Settings and toggle around until you find Auto Translate and then select English (or whatever).

If it is text, then I would normally use Google Translate ...

I have since found another translate site ...

Thank you George. These links are a great help.

Do you need special software to create Gore image format for spheres?

Thanks Tom,
but due to the specifics of constructing a sphere in PTE, such sweeps are not suitable.

Rosemary.

I have attached the styles with all the objects translated to English.

To convert from 2D to 3D I thought it would require a sinusoidal gore. I need to watch the tutorial video.

Thanks,

Thank you Gogs. Now I can play! Stay safe over there in bonnie Scotland.

But in this case, it is difficult to make a style I think.

I used sinusoidal gores for the earth and other planets: https://www.slideshowclub.com/files/file/196-planets/

I don't know if this would be an accurate projection transformation. I have not tested with the styles.

Yes, such a picture is suitable for style (3D ball 2), only it must be prepared in advance. Cut in half and turn each of the halves 90 °.

The second part of the tutorial on creating a 3D ball style, for those who are interested. )

Hi Denis,

The planets look great. I didn't know someone had created rotating spheres almost 7 years ago. I tried to open on my Mac Mini but since the Mac slideshow was created during the 32 bit era it would not run on Big Sur which is 64 bit only. Also Mac apps have to be authorized by Apple now. Maybe the slideshow.dat file can be converted to a slideshow.ptshow file. I will ask Igor.

Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom

Here a ptshow (WeTransfer for 7 days) for Big sur:  https://we.tl/t-SNa2DlsetW

Paul

Thank you for the tutorials. I have watched both. Youtube translation was not the best, but good enough to help me follow what you were doing.

I particularly wanted to learn how you put on the glare and the shadows and now understand that.

Downloaded. So many stars in the universe. Great looking planets.

I completely forgot about the glare in the second part of the lesson, this will be at the very beginning of the third part. But the subtitles are not ready there yet.
