    Hey guys,

    I have a shot that I am working on which requires me to make a 2D photo of an island map of Jamaica pulsate like a heartbeat.Really not too sure where to start with this one..any ideas would be very much appreciated!

    Dave’s right, Bulge should work fine. I did it the hard way using an oval radial gradient Displacement Map. I always do it the hard way. I work for an hourly rate, you see.
