Thanks guys! I would have been able to make these much sooner, but I didn't find the group button in powerpoint until last night, which helps with 3D. If anyone would like a personalized template, don't hesitate to ask! I'm going to try some more 3D stuff.

Nothing that impressive, but this is how I'd like to see a chroma key used!

That looks pretty cool and more realistic than how TWC is actually using the 3D technology. They're using it more like it's a chroma key wall than 3D to me.

Imagine if there was a 3D globe behind then and they could touch it and spin it to show radar and stuff. Would be pretty cool

Nice! BTW, is the basemap just a Google Map?

Just google. I use the green arrow and clock button @ the top in the tool bar and drag it all the way back, the result is that color.

You're doing great! I couldn't be able to create the artwork like yours using Powerpoint or other designing software. Are you considering working for TWC as a graphics artist? They'll hire you!  :)

I could only hope. I've been interested in meteorology for a while, graphics just goes alone with it. I wouldn't mind being a graphic artist or weather producer.  :thumbsup:

I need some type of graphics job. I've got nothing to do all day but make graphics for the website.  :hmm:
