Extrude boarders of a map
Hi dear community,
Herer is the short version of my question:
I want to do something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NIICVIZd50
with an old map, but can not extrude the part of the map i cut out in Photoshop in After effects.Maybe you can help me with my problem:
I have a map with land and ocean on it. I want the land to be extruded, so on higher level than the ocean and with a stroke around it.
I already tried this way:-Cut out the land in Photoshop
-Import it into Illustrator-save
-Import into After Effects with Ray traced 3d
-set the Bevel in Geometrie options – i just got a grey boxI guess the first two steps are ok, but i need help with the next step after these, as After effect will not take over the AI layers correctly:
-Cut out the land in Photoshop
-Import directly into After Effectsand now i need to take over exactly the shape of the land that i cut out in Photoshop on a shape layer. So for example, a shape layer needs to be the exact form of the Photoshop layer of Italy i cut out.
It should be looking like this:

(around 20 sec.)
Any ideas, how to do that? Or maybe there is an easier way?
Thanks!

Try using the Image Trace tool in Illustrator to turn your Photoshop maps into vector layers.
Here’s how to do extrusions, etc. with the Cinema 4D renderer, if you have a later version of AE.
