Maltaannon!

That was beautiful man, thank you so much for sparing your time to make these tutorials. I’m new to AE and you’ve opened my eyes as to what it can really do.

The stuff you’re doing here is better than any other work with AE I’ve seen – I’m now not going to stop until I become an AE master!

You’re an inspiration and I thank you for that.

All the best

Simon

Happy New Year!!!

HI Maltaannon,

Thanks for a great tutorial, really helped me out.
@James: Link the lights to the earth texture rotation and it should work for you. I spotted this too but will forgive Maltaannon as the previous steps about linking the rotation were clear enough to figure it out.

Thanks Again!!
