Learn two methods for constructing animated spinning globes in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro.<\/em><\/h3>\n

A spinning, global view of the earth is a useful method for showing an overview of your data. Not only does it put your story into a planetary perspective, it\u2019s a great way to capture a reader\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

The Human Reach<\/a>, the first installment of the Esri Story Maps series Living in the Age of Humans<\/a>,\u00a0explores the extent of the human impact on the planet. Bringing together global earth observation data with compelling visual design, this story (which uses the Cascade template<\/a>) looks at urbanization, global networks, the human footprint, and more.<\/p>\n

The premier of this series made a splash at the 2018 User Conference in San Diego. The story\u2019s five 3D globe animations created in ArcGIS Pro greeted visitors as they took their seats at the opening of the plenary session<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since the User Conference, many of you have asked us how to create your own spinning globe animations. This blog discusses two approaches:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The out-of-the-box 3D Data Visualization app in ArcGIS Online; a quick and easy solution that can be spun up in a pinch.<\/li>\n
  2. The ArcGIS Pro workflow we used to create our globes as MP4 videos; an advanced solution that allows for a wide range of customization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    3D Data Visualization app in ArcGIS Online<\/h2>\n

    The quickest way to create a spinning globe and share it online is to use a configurable application in ArcGIS Online called 3D Data Visualization<\/a>. Once you\u2019ve created and configured a scene in ArcGIS Online, added and styled your data, and saved the scene, you can then create a web app by going to Share<\/strong> \u2192 Create Web App<\/strong> \u2192 3D Data Visualization<\/strong> \u2192 Create Web App<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    When played, the camera centers the point of view on the equator while rotating the planet. Once you save, launch, and publicly share the app, you can copy the link and embed the application within a story map.<\/p>\n

    Animation tab in ArcGIS Pro<\/h2>\n

    Some of you, however, will need greater flexibility. For nearly limitless customization, it\u2019s time to break open the advanced capabilities of ArcGIS Pro and its Animation tab<\/a>. The general process to build a beautiful animation in Pro goes like this:<\/p>\n
