body movin (lottie)

I'm trying to make fake 3d bouncing ball for a website using CC Sphere in after effects.. The problem is:
Bodymovin doesn't recognize the cc sphere effect, it renders (Json) only rectangle ball texture used for cc sphere.. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

I am almost certain the Bodymovin only really exports vector graphics. I think you have run into a limitation of the system. 

 

If I was trying to export a simulated 3D ball to a website I would use a shape layer with a couple of gradient fills on a circle to simulate the sphere. You could even add a second shape layer to act as the shadow. This would give you a lot better chance of exporting a fully web compatible file. Can you tell which is which?

Try a shape layer. With a little work, you can create something that looks just like what you get in CC Sphere. You can even simulate the rolling of the ball and changing lighting.
