FT3 gives us a few different options here. Our first task of the day is to decide how the world should be colored. The first image here shows it in the default altitude display, using the Equirectangular projection.

For this, I am using my own existing world map for Virana. Let us start with our FT3 world at the ready. You can pause the video to examine my dialogs and choices.

You can also watch a video (unvoiced) of this entire process. Now, this article isn’t about creating your FT3 world however, but rather on how to best make one of those nice spinning globes you can use to show it off. When I picked the world for my current campaign world of Virana, I probably clicked through hundreds of generated worlds and tweaked the settings a dozen times before I found the right one. Starting directly with a flat map in CC3+ gives so many possibilities for missteps when mapping a sphere, and I also just love to click through the auto-generated FT3 worlds until I find the perfect one. This is also why I prefer to always start my new worlds in Fractal Terrains, as it lets me get a proper grip on the planet before I move on. Nothing makes a world come so alive when the players are able to properly visualize the entire planet. One of my favorite player visualizations is a spinning globe.
