I just figured a way, there are many Apps out there that will  convert an equirectangular map to cubic faces, or essentially 6 square images.
after doing that, just build a cube from the resulting 6 images, using  the create 3Dcube script.
I just tried it on a mac,It works great with one little exception. the corners can be obvious at extremely oblique angles, but for majority of  normal shots it works like a charm and it is Super-Fast  responsive to update and render.  I used CubicConverter on a mac. but I am sure there are tons of apps or utilities out there on every platform and free ones too.

We can't upgrade to CC yet as we need to upgrade our SAN to work with 10.8 (which is happening next week I think).

No Cineware for just yet.

I could do all the processing in C4D but thought AE would be more flexible,


Thanks.

Phil

you can always use Zoom, but I guess any cheat is just that, a cheat.

Ahhh. bummer.. It works great other than not being able to use z translation on the camera.

Cheers.

Hey Patrick, I just tried Horizon and it isn't affected by the comp camera.

I'm using v1.1, can you verify it works for you and what version you have.

Cheers.

A vote here for Trapcode Horizon.
It just works great.! As long as you have a equirectilinear map.
Unliike cc sphere, it works with AE camera Perfectly.

I have an image I want to map onto a sphere in AE.

CC Sphere works great but renders the outside view and I would like to be inside.

I seem to recall CC Environment doing something similar but that's not installed.

Also I think Horizon by Trapcode maybe too (which I don't have but would purchase if needed).

I don't want any extra shading, just pure distortion.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

Phil
