Motion 3 Tutorial: The Earth, Sun and Stars Part 1

[johnlendved]

I follow your directions exactly but my earth ends up kind of ovular, like it is squished down. Do you happen to know why this is happening?

[77ethanhunt]

Someone told me that no matter how far you are from the sun, it always looks bigger (because of how much bigger it is than earth.) so for my sake I made the sun bigger. Great tutorial though, helps a lot.

[bfunfer]

Great tutorial, as always! However, when I add my starfield, I can't see it. Suggestions. Thanks.

[aaronfalvey]

@bfunfer Make sure the star field box is checked..

[imaginacaoartes]

If you're still check on this, I'm having trouble making my earth round. It always comes out oval shaped. I've resiozed my images and closed and opened and tried everything but it still comes out oval. What am I doing wrong?

[alexmaxjohn]

just do it in a 3d program man, like 3dsmax or maya or something

[kfwalsh1]

@curbsydeproductions Hey man same thing happens to me, I think your using motion 4 instead of motion 3, I just disable the blurs

[Talentocubano]

[caco0283]

Why does my whole globe shift to the right on the x-axis when I try to make it spin? I have it on 3d

[badman550]

@caco0283 same here -_- i guess Eric fucked up in this one

[aaronfalvey]

@caco0283 I have the same problem. Did you manage to sort it out as I cant get it to work?

[christianacintron]

great! thanks for posting

[gtLittlestwarrior]

i thought motion couldnt handle 3-D?

[Roncace]

Maybe it;s because you have an older version of Motion

Motion 2 doesn't work with 3-D

Motion 3 however has a slight modification to it predecessors

[dameon166]

shit! I have a brand new iMac and the final cut studio with old stuff

[RiteLightProductions]

wtf lol. its designed for working with 3d stuff

[jnyce695]
