Animated Globe

[Akehurst]

I wondered if anyone can help with how to design a rotating globe for a web site graphic.

Do a Google image search for "globe animated". There are some good ideas in the results. Looks like most are animated gifs. Finding the maps or models would be the challange. -David

I really like Tom C.'s tutorial. There is one other thing that occurs to me: by making one layer that is white with a cutout of a circle the right diameter as the globe and using it in your animation sequence, you can eliminate the erasing by creating in effect a reusable mask.
