Google Map on a Papervision Primitive (in 6 lines of code)

Intro

Putting a Google map on a Papervision Primitive is extremely easy. All you need to do is to turn the map into a Movie (using the MovieMaterial class) and then place it on a primitive. It's really that easy! You can do it in only six lines of code given below;

1. Turn Google Maps into a Movie

movie.graphics.beginFill(0xFFFFFF);
movie.graphics.drawRect(0,0,800,600)
movie.addChild(Application.application.map);
movie.graphics.endFill();
mat = new MovieMaterial(movie, false, true,true,new Rectangle(0,0,800,600));

2. Place that movie onto a primitive

sphere = new Sphere(mat, 600, 32, 32);
