This globalisation ...

LOL,
Yeah, I noticed it after I posted. I don't know why I do that. I guess my brain works in reverse. I guess I can reorder the frame sequence. I wish Xara Xtreme had a button you could push to do that for you.

I have been hankering after a reverse button for years.
About five years ago I made a formal enquiry and was told 'tis not possible.
I didn't believe that then and I don't believe it now.

Here's yours reversed and with a bit of tilt added.

Raymond,
Good job. I went in and reordered the frames one by one. Now it's going in the right direction.

So in what way did you make yours?
Seems to have e better result than I.

Raymond,
Similar to what you did, I Think. I used clipart map, colored and beveled it, then duplicated it twice, spreading the images evenly apart, goup them. Place a sphere on a separate frame as background.
I set the nudge size to about 3 or 4 (depending on how fast you want your globe to turn and how many frames you want).
I then copy the first frame with just the maps and nudge the map image once with the right arrow key. I keep doing that until I've reached a complete revolution indicated by the guideline.
Duplicating the background sphere, I do a ctrl,alt,v to paste the new sphere on each frame and then, one frame at a time, clicking on the map and the sphere on top of the map and hitting ctrl3.
I know, it's a long process.
I've attached a file that you can tinker with.

I did near enough the same - 'cepting I used Ctrl+2

Home planet done - here's our favourite moon.
And for the first time the dark side of the moon is revealed.
This at the behest of a certain Mme.Bode who is astronomically challenged.

Just an observation, I notice that both the globes are syncronised in as much they are showing the same scene, there is probably an simple explanation of why this is so but it escapes this old brain for the moment.

So I am astronomically challenged. Well, did you use a cow??? Lotta bull I might add. The moon has an atmosphere of pulverized bolonie, it seems.

Very good. Spins faster than Jupiter.
