[Carrara]Mapping vector images?

[toph]

Hi,

I'm a newbie and maybe this is a stupid question:

I need to map a world map as vector image to a sphere and don't know how it works (if it works)? - I want to use vectors, because I need a very wide zoom range in my animation later: Close to small countries and far away to see the whole earth.

Is this possible in Carrara6 Pro and if not are there any workarounds?

I tried using big pixel-images (more than 4000px of size) but I can see the pixels if zooming close.

Best and thanks
Christoph

I've done that the other week at work, pan zoom from space to a street:
- earth from space
- earth (clouds)
- country
- city
- block
- street

I create a material for each step and blend them while animate (full 3D)

You can also do that in 2D, if you have a good video editor.

Carrara doesn't support vector images in its shaders.
