Wrapping 3D layers to an object

Is it possible in AE to have a 2D animation say a ball and then map onto that a later of a face and have it track around with it?

I know it can be done in any 3D app but I'm trying to keep it all within AE. I'm happy to look at Plug-ins if there's one out there but can't seem to find anything.

Thanks!

Here's a document about using UV maps in After Effects:

This does involve the use of a 3D application, but it allows you to do more of the work in After Effects.
