Ok, so this is probably an odd request but oh well.

I either need an animated rotating sphere that then drops and shatters or a way to animate one myself.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

For doing it yourself you'd probably find it easiest to create an animated gif, what's the visual for?

(Rotating sphere's are ten-a-penny online, the drop and smash bit will be the difficult/bespoke part.)

I always thought it would be cool to have a sphere rotating, then drop and shatter. But here's the cool part, once it shatters it regenerates and then becomes an orb that zips up and off the screen.

If you need to loop the animation, then get the sphere back to the first frame by zipping it back on screen and into place to start rotating again.

Ooh, gives me shivers.
