I'm trying to wrap some text to a sphere at a particular angle, but I'm not that familiar with the CS2 additions to Photoshop and Illustrator. Anyone know if either of them can do it, and how?
much +1 to all who help

thanks salisae, but I want it on the surface of a sphere, not around a circle. 3d, or mock 3d.

effect/ 3D/ extrude and bevel/
for your type...go preview mode and figure out the angle of which you want teh words to lay on the sphere.
Object/ Expand Apperance
its easy!!

Select 3D object
Appearance>Extrude&BEvel or REvolve
In 3D Options click Map Art
Choose what artwork/text to map

also when using the 3D bevel and extrude, lowering the "Extrude Depth" to likes of 10 Points is better to start from than at 50 Points...
when going into preview mode it makes it easier for the puter to render a smaller and more usable size than wit hthe 50point range.
