trying to create a mock up of earth in CS6 with 3d abilities.
I have 3 layers prepared:
Background (black)
Transparent layer with "stars"
and top layer being a "sphere" that's coloured blue. (I eventually want to add in land formations etc after I figure out how to do it right)
so I want to make something like this: https://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/91.gif
BUT I want to be able to move it around so I can see land mass on the other side as well...
anyway, so... I have my layers set up.
I go to menu bar >3D> new mesh from layer>mesh preset>sphere...
now heres the problem....
Everytime I do this, my sphere ends up being half blue and half white.
I don't know why or how to fix it.
let alone I don't know how to add "land masses" to it, or make them go around the whole sphere so I can spin it around and see all sides
