Digital Map Selection Effect 🗺️

Here’s how I created that digital map swipe effect:
1. Shot a POV scene pretending to swipe through different maps.
2. 3D tracked the footage in After Effects → added a solid to check the track.
3. Once it looked solid, I placed elements in 3D space above the table —
UI, overlays & some futuristic design that reacted to my choreography.
4. Used Polycam to search for cities I wanted to show → downloaded as .ply (Poly Splat) files.
5. To bring them into AE, I used the Gaussian Splatting plugin.
6. Created a solid → applied the Gaussian Splatting effect → dropped the .ply file into the comp.
7. In plugin settings: set model to “Model 1” and chose the file.
8. Created a null object to position & animate the splat model in 3D space.
9. Aligned the map with the table using the tracked solid’s position → adjusted rotation & placement.
10. Repeated the steps for all maps I wanted to swipe through.
11. For transitions: animated scale, shape size & noise shape size.
12. Final touches: tweaked blending modes, added a hologram effect — played with color, noise & displacement.

Hope that helps — can’t wait to see what you create with it!🚀
