I'm still not sure if I'm right about this, or if I'm explaining it very well, but it looks to me as if the sun should look as if it's tilted. As in the right hand side back and the left hand side forward. As it is at the moment I get the impression that I should be viewing the sun from a position that is close to nine or ten o'clock, but I'm actually viewing it from head on.
I tried out this theory by holding up a glass ashtray, bad old me I still smoke, and tilted it with the right hand side back and the left hand side forward. By doing this it seemed to pull the sides of the circle in and give it a more pinched look at the top and bottom. It also changed the depth prospective so that I could see the depth on the right hand side on the inner circle and on the left hand side on the outer circle. This is how the depth appears to me on the sun.
Not too sure if any of this makes sense or helps, and I've got no great idea on how to achieve the effect. It's just a minor niggle though, the sun looks good as is.
I see what you're saying now.
I guess I could have done some kind of perspective shift, or mapped the sun to tilt as you described using "Map Object".
I didn't give this any thought when putting the image together. It was really a test to see how it would look using 3D Extrusion. I think if I do tilt it like you say, that it might give more extrusion to the inner part of the sun.
It's worth a try. I'll do this and see what comes of it, and post the resulting image along side the originally extruded sun as a comparison of the 2 images.
