After Effects Template

(01)

I built an After Effects rig with multiple customization options, including color controls, camera angle, map overlays, callouts, labels, and visual guides.

The project was organized for easy assembly, clean customization, and smooth transfer between designers.

Topographic Rendering

(02)

A third-party script was used to render topographic layers directly inside After Effects, including diffuse, normal, and depth passes

Global View

(03)

Based on the 3D Maps rig, a similar system was built for a view from space.
