Hi there,
I’m pretty new to Away3D, and managed to create a basic view of a sphere that has an earth-texture on it. I’ve created it like this:
var _earth:ObjectContainer3D = new ObjectContainer3D();
_view.scene.addChild( _earth );
var earthSurfaceMaterial:TextureMaterial = new TextureMaterial( Cast.bitmapTexture( EarthSurfaceDiffuse ) );
var earthSurface:Mesh = new Mesh( new SphereGeometry ( GLOBE_RADIUS, 200, 100 ), earthSurfaceMaterial );
_earth.addChild( earthSurface );
So far, so good. But as the title of this post says, what I want to achieve is an animation that unwraps the sphere’s texture to a (rectangular) plane that faces the camera.
Does anybody have an idea how this could be achieved?
Many thanks in advance,
