Hi.. Here's a world map I just finished modeling. I am going to wrap it into a sphere to make it a globe.

It's all sub-D and took me about 3 days to model. I added a displacement texture for this render to make it a little more interesting looking

Interesting design, but I would consider redesigning the actual logo text. It takes a while to read because it goes in three different directions.

I never knew you aussies were so touchy! I thought the irish would have been more upset with me.. they're not even modeled! But I've since fixed that. :thumbsup:

Looks cool... What about a 360 turntable animation?? The watermark seems to be somewhat annoying to me... Maybe you can put in at one corner?? Just a suggestiong... Cool design tho..

I think the Netherlands are modeled wrong!!!! there is no Ijselmeer and the little islands are not modeled also!!!
this is not acceptable :)

You've done a very good job with a simple design like this... It looks much better with animation... :thumbsup:

Thanks BigB.. Sorry I screwed up on your nether region. I'll try to do better in the future. But just between you and me, I hope I never have to model another globe in my lifetime!!! :surprised

yes I can believe it's a pain in the ass to model this, but the result is very good so I think it is worth the hard work?!
