Hello List!

I have been searching all over the web with no luck. I saw some fairly
close examples, but none that was quite what I needed. I am desparately
looking for:

a) A free download, or

b) Someone to create an animated wireframe globe. I need the wires to be
very thin, 1 or 2 pixels, of a bright copper or gold finish, and the
continents overlayed with the same finish. I need realistic
shadows/reflections/glints, and correct tilt and rotational direction. I
need a transparent background, and NO jaggies. I also want a very smooth
animation. Most of the ones I've seen run very fast, almost makes you
dizzy. I would actually need two versions of the animation, one approx. 80
X 80 pixels, for the main page, and one approx. 30 X 30 pixels for sub pages.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I played around with a 3D program, and I could get the wireframe globe to
render, but when it came to animating it, I was like a chimpanzee with a
sliderule.

TIA,

Mike
