Geolayers+3+10+2021 -

GEOlayers 3 is a professional plugin for Adobe After Effects that allows users to design, style, and animate custom maps directly inside Adobe After Effects using real-world geospatial data. Rather than relying on static images or complex, round-trip workflows involving external GIS software, GEOlayers 3 connects After Effects to a range of online imagery tile servers (including OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, and ArcGIS). It renders fully editable map imagery based on the user’s location and zoom settings, and transforms vector data into native After Effects shape layers. Crucially, GEOlayers 3 is not a simple "map importer"—it is a creative tool that treats geographical data as an animation asset.

The number "10" is interpreted here as the level of hierarchal precision, specifically the "Level 10" Lithostratigraphic Classification. Traditional maps often generalized units into broad eras (e.g., "Jurassic Sediments"). The 2021 standard pushed for "Level 10" granularity—often corresponding to decimal precision in geochronology or member-level stratigraphy. This high-resolution classification allowed for: geolayers+3+10+2021

One of the most significant advancements in GEOlayers 3 was its full embrace of three-dimensional space. Unlike its predecessors or many competing solutions, GEOlayers 3 offered intuitive controls to animate maps in 3D space. Users could scroll, zoom, pitch, and rotate their maps directly inside After Effects, create keyframes, and animate them fluidly—all while GEOlayers rendered every frame of the animation.
