RE: FLASH: Transparent Globe

[John Olson]

Probably the easiest way and most efficient would be to create it in 

a 3d package,  make the water fully transparent, and render it out as 

a series of images. Those could be imported into Flash and made into 

a movie clip.


It could be done as vector artwork, but I think the artwork would be complex.


Depending on what 3d program you use, this is accomplished in a 

different ways.  I know Strata StudioPro comes with a fully textured 

earth model with the program and I imagine others do to.  There are 

also websites with free models on the internet.


What 3d package (if any) do you have access to?
