Good job !
thanks for the tut,
but you could have used some better colors.
Everything looks the same fuzzy brown.
Why not a blue ramp for the water instead of another brown?
anyhow, nice job !
because the brown is kinda a safari color in africa and makes you think of traveling well it does me
I’d have said for that kind of “old world map” look. But hey, it’s all just a guideline.
Yea, the colors could have been better, on a low contrast monitor all the colors are more or less the same. Anyway that wasn’t the point of this tut, good work ;)
Great !
nice tuts… i guess now we will find more of this style anims on the web :)
nice work

To get project files and source material you have to become a Plus Member for $9 bucks a month.
The .eps isn’t in the project files.
Also when I open it I get this warning message:
“After Effects: this project must be converted from version 8.0×247 (Windows)
and will open as an untitled project. Standard Definition pixel aspect ratios
will be updated for compatibility and improved accuracy. The original file will be unchanged.”
And then I get the warning that 1 file is missing (the worldmap.eps)
(I do have tutsplus membership)

Cool effect. I was trying to find out how to do this in after effects.
