Selgin posted something like this while back is how I got the idea. There is no masking.

Sure - no masking needed for the globe itself! I used the masking only for the "night" shadow that moves over the face of the globe. I guess I could have done the shadow with point animation or some other way - but as seems to be the case with just about everything - there are more ways to skin the proverbial cat than there are cats ... thanks again for the steer! (Ah- oh -- that's steer as in direction as distinct from the bovine variety 
!)

For the moment I have lost my media room. We moved all my stuff out of the studio and are letting my nephew practice with his band. So I can not, atm, set up my camera and finish the last few scenes.3deeguy wrote:Thanks everyone. @sbtamu, we're still waiting to see 'stickman' shoot the ball through the hoop!
But, I have had a blast playing the drums again for the 1st time in 20 years. I also did some art work for them. Any ways, once they move out I'll have my media room back.
