Planet Mercury with VC Orb or Element 3D

An Adobe After Effects tutorial

After Effects tutorial detailing how to make a simple, 3D planet. 
Part of the Makin' Planets tutorial series, this tutorial looks at how to use After Effects and Orb to recreate the rocky world of Mercury, including sourcing a texture. I first make the planet using VC Orb, then show how you can achieve the same result in VC Element.
