I would find that fairly time consuming for a spinning globe effect. A 3D

program is really not neccessary.

1st layer: Create a round mask(size of globe)

2nd layer: Create a flat map of continents(whatever) and tween it from left to

right of the mask and loop.

3rd layer: create a round gradient to give 3D sphere(lighting effect) effect.


All in all that should take you around 10-15 minutes.


We all appreciate peoples efforts to help one another and I dont want for

people to stop posting how they might

take on a task, however some techniques might be a little more easier than

others, so no insult intended.

If anyone else might have a easier technique than mine, please post.


I do have one more question, do we really need another spinning globe?<g>

How about a spining logo, Jupiter or 2 men brutally assaulting another man,

anything but another spinning globe
