    I need to create a globe animation where the “terrain” map wipes to a solid color shiny map, with a country highlighted.

    any suggestions on where to source the maps that match terrain/vector or do I have to just create them from the terrain map in Illustrator?

    for the wipe I was thinking of using a boole objects to wipe between the 2 maps, but any suggestions would really be appreciated

    thanks!!

    pretty hard to be perfect with maps unless they came from the same source, have the same dimensions etc etc. you will probably have to make your own shiny map, but test to find out.
    A boole would work for the wipe but an animated gradient in the alpha channel would work too without needing an extra object.

    great thanks for responding
    I just started experimenting with gradient wipes with alpha
