3d Revolution of a 2d object around a globe

[kartika8839101]

hey guys, i'm working on a project which demands a car to revolve around globe, but the car should revolve around it in a 3d perspective, though it's a 2d car made of strokes. i succesfully made it to revolve around it in a 3d orbit, but could'nt made the car look like it's also rotating in 3d itself. here is the screenshot of a reference. As in the reference, rocket is orbiting as a 3d object itself, and has every angle of it, which i guess not possible in case of ae 2d objects. So i think it can be done frame by frame animation in Flash ? pls do let me know how it can be done...

Place a 3D Null layer in the exact centre of your globe, in 3D space.

Parent the 3D rocket layer to the Null.

Rotate the Null.

Thanks, that was really helpful

It also doesn't help that "oceans" of the globe are the same color as the background and the "land" is the same color as the vehicle.

You want at least some indication of separation, of depth, no?  Even if your going for that very popular paper cut-out look you at least want a tiny little drop shadow i would think.
