• sizes are in meters - 1 length of ThreeJS corresponds to 1 meter

forces:

• Attractive aw:Gravity with repulsion on close distances
• aw:Drag force named friction

PointsGeometry

Point corresponds to physics object with mass proportional to matter density.

steps[edit | edit source]

draw 3d[edit | edit source]

coast lines from Earth2014 or from aw:Natural Earth

if to simulate world ocean then coast lines from aw:Natural Earth will be not enough

cities, texts are got from mediawiki

rivers, custom boundaries from mediawiki

modern boundaries from shapefiles of aw:Natural Earth or from aw:Category:Geodata api

options:

1. actual is Draw geoid EGM96
2. on aw:PlanetMaker basis to use:

   topographic? background as texture on Earth elipsoid like this

examples[edit | edit source]

• aw:PlanetMaker
• open VTK Process images and create 3D computer graphics with the Visualization Toolkit
• old Vis5d+... HDF5 files (a standard, free, binary format for multidimensional scientific data)... GRIB files (a meteorological data format)

  Interactive Visualization of Earth and Space Science Computations... Users can reach into this virtual environment with a mouse to move slices through the data grids, to place seed points for wind trajectories, and to rotate and zoom their view.

• WebGL Globe can draw atmosphere over textured globe
