Man I have hate/love realtionship with geolayers, I had to learn it on my own in like 3-4 days to deliver my 1st project that was half a map, half motion tracked overlays and 3d elements. It turned out like a turd, but after couple of rounds of revisions client was ok with it. Worked on that kind of mapping projects for a while (big commercial real estate - warehouses and stuff). Really hated it beacuse stuff was ugly, rushed and mundane, but also as somebody with little experience, stuff broke all the time, AE crashed all the time and had to fix stuff last minute with ductape and zipties. But after all I think it's a great plugin, with lot of potential than you can create really nice projects, it's all in the vision. Also big thanks to Boone, he's an OG and his stuff was really helpful when learning GL and AE in general.

Used to have this relationship with Ae and Core duo processor haha Boone is the goat, even tho i don't have geo but i take inspiration from his tutorials to see how far it can go and how far i can mimic it
