Description
I know it is possible to plot a 3D sphere using matplotlib. It is also possible to use an image as a basemap background using warpimage().
Is there a way to create a 3D earth by combining an orthographic projection with matplotlib's 3D capabilities? I want to be able to plot data inside a 3D basemap with GUI rotation and zooming capabilities.

Research direction
Review Basemap's orthographic projection and warpimage() behavior alongside Matplotlib's 3D plotting capabilities. Determine whether a rotatable, zoomable 3D Earth with data plotted on a basemap is supported, and document the resulting limitations or implementation scope.
