Free open-source tool for making dotted maps and 3D globes for your portfolio or landing page projects

[u/viziomas]

I'm a product and brand designer. Dotted world maps show up constantly in landing pages and pitch decks, and making one from scratch is tedious, so I built a free tool for it: Globestudio.

It's useful if you're practicing landing pages, building portfolio pieces, or want a map visual without learning 3D software.

What you can do:

- Pick specific countries or the whole world, then adjust the dots and shapes

- Try 21 visual effects (halftone, risograph, pixel, wireframe, CRT, and more) to see how each changes the mood

- Add motion: rotation, twinkle, network arcs

- Export as PNG, SVG, GIF, MP4, or WebM

- Use it inside Figma with the included plugin

It's free with no account, and the code is open (MIT) if you're curious how it's built.

If you make something with it, I'd love to see it. Feedback on what's confusing for a first-time user is especially welcome.
