How to spin a Globe? (or some cheap software that does it?)

Anyone know of any tutorials on how to animate a spinning globe out of a flat image? Or maybe some inexpensive 3D software that only does this sort of thing. Would rather do it in motion, though.
Thanks much,
.D

The only way I can see to do this in Motion is to take a strip and use the Distort/Sphere filter on it. Then use a ramp or keyframes on the x position value to move the strip, simultaneously move the center of the sphere in the opposite direction.
Here's a quick project I threw together to illustrate. I also tossed a gradient filled circle on the top with a Multiply blend mode to provide shading. With a little more care, it would loop properly, but I've only spent a few minutes on it.

  • I want to burn my old cd's and have them in my iTunes library. Is there some "I" software that I can buy that will treat the new songs like "purchased" songs (i.e.: available for synching on all my devices)?

    I want to burn my old cd's and have them in my iTunes library. Is there some "I" software that I can buy that will treat the new songs like "purchased" songs (i.e.: available for synching on all my devices)?

    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    'With iTunes in the Cloud, the music you buy from the iTunes Store automatically appears on all your devices.1 And for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. iTunes Match is built right into iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iOS devices.2 It lets you store your entire collection in iCloud, even music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. When it’s in iCloud, it’s available on all your devices. So you can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV.'
    It costs $24.99 p.a.. Songs you've ripped from your CDs which are also in the Store will be recognized (hopefully) and be available: if they aren't in the Store you can uploads them. The limit is 25,000 songs (purchases do not count towards this limit). This is not part of the 5GB free storage.
    Incidentally, just to clarify the terminology so you don't get into confusion, you don't mean 'burn' (make a CD from existing files) you mean 'rip' (copy files from a CD onto your computer).

  • How do I create an executable for a computer that does not have IVI drivers

    I'm creating an executable driver (based on the NI drivers) for a TDS 3054 intended for a computer that does not have the IVI engine. I would prefer to install as little software on this computer as possible. Is it possible for me to build the driver with the appropriate support DLL's without installing IVI on the user's computer? How do I do this?
    Thank you,
    Zach Oberman

    Zach,
    Since the tkds30xx driver you are using is IVI based, you will not be able to use it without the IVI Engine.
    If you must build an executable that does not require the IVI Engine, then you will need to use a traditional LabVIEW driver or convert a VXIpnp driver into LabVIEW. Neither of those drivers would require the IVI Engine.
    At this time the only TDS 3054 driver on NI's IDNet website is the IVI-based tkds30xx driver.
    You may be able to obtain a traditional LabVIEW driver from
    Tektronix
    Developer Exchange

  • HT1551 How do I fix a 2nd generation Apple TV that does not restore to factory settings after a failed installation of software update 6.0?

    Yesterday, I got asked by my 2nd generation Apple TV if I wanted to update download and install the new software update. I clicked "Yes" and the download and installation process began. Nothing out of the ordinary happened and when the installation completed the Apple TV automatically rebooted itself, which is what has happened with previous software updates.
    Alas, after reboot, the only thing that appeared on screen was an old iTunes logo (the one with the CD in the background) and what looked like a USB cable. I went online and found out that other people had been experiencing similar problems with the newly released Apple TV 6.0 update and that they had also ended up with the same image on their screen.
    As it turns out, this image apparently means that you need to restore your Apple TV to factory settings by hooking it up to your computer using a micro-USB cable and then using iTunes to restore it in a way analogous to restoring an iPhone via iTunes.
    I followed all of the instructions to the letter such as disconnecting my Apple TV from all cables including the power cord and then hooking it up to my computer with the micro-USB cable. I opened iTunes and absolutely nothing happened. The Apple TV does not appear as a device so I am not able to restore it.
    I have attempted rebooting my computer and leaving my Apple TV disconnected for a while before hooking it up to my computer since it apparently has an internal baterry that keeps a charge for about 30 seconds after being disconnected. Nothing has worked.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    System configuration:
    Apple TV 2nd generation running update 5.3
    iTunes version 11.1 (126)
    Mac OS X 10.8.5 on an Intel Core 2 Duo

    Did you follow the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
    Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

  • How to install software that does not show in add\remove?

    I have a agent that i need to install on all our computers but the program does not show in add\remove when installed correctly.
    It does however have a service that runs and some processes that run.
    Can someone tell me what the best way of installing this is?
    Should I create a collection based of the Service\Process or even based of the file sitting in C:\Program Files.
    I wanted to create a collection of computers that had the software already then create another collection that had all computers with it missing and create a advertisement from this..
    I am just not sure how to do this one when it does not show in add\remove

    Please create the new SCCM query based collection for computers which have required software installed. We can create this collection based on service. 
    For example :Below SCCM query will add the computers which firewall service is in disabled mode.
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_SERVICE on SMS_G_System_SERVICE.ResourceId =
    SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_SERVICE.Name like "MpsSvc" and SMS_G_System_SERVICE.StartMode like "Disabled" 
    Create another collection for computers which have software not installed and add the below query for the collection. Replace the "CollectionID" with collectionID of first collection.
    select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where ResourceID not in (select ResourceID from SMS_FullCollectionMembership
    where CollectionID = "CollectionID") 

  • How do I get rid of the compromising software that Adobe sneakily installed on my browsers?

    I am disgusted with Software companies like Adobe that treat their users with disrespect and contempt. They feel that they have the right to just download whatever they want and install it without anyone's approval.
    Downloading Flash was an absolute joke.  First Adobe shoves 1 useless piece of crap software in your face after the other and they keep popping up a window to install driver software. If you decline each one, then they do not download the Flash player. Worse, they just go ahead and install their crap in your browsers despite the declines.
    And Shame on you Adobe. Are you that desperate that you have to try and force-feed other software to your users? Makes me sorry that I ever purchased your CS suite.
    Does anyone know how to get Adobe's crap unwanted software off my windows computer running XP?
