Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

). So for my first animation I was pretty pleased
But i think if you want to make something really pretty (and a little longer) it would take a lot of time, just like any animation basically
The cool thing is that you can split it up in overlaying parts/layers and do small (repeatable) pieces giving great control over the animation. There's also an onion-skin display that work very nice. I agree with Arakish, it's not really suited to create complete websites (esp. maintaining this), but for animation thingies it seems very cool. Also the "programming" language I just looked into can generate some pretty cool effects with just a few lines of code. I'm actually thinking of creating a map as an animation.... hmm well... when I have time .. want more time in a day! cheers!
