New update on PowerPoint Heaven. Added a Spinning Globe Showcase which can be found in the Animations page under Showcase category. This is a showcase featuring a spinning globe (Earth). All graphics and animations are created using PowerPoint, with the exception of the World Map image. This showcase also contains a semi tutorial which shows you some globe shading techniques and explains how a spinning globe effect can be achieved.
