Planet Engine

[Incendiary Lemon]

bit of an enjoyable toy, requires a Dx9 calibre card.

planet engine is a 3D real-time planet renderer. It allows you to fly over the surface of planets and also to see them from space.
You can explore real planets - like Mars and Earth - or use imaginary data.

Actually, it's not that hard to implement. It's a high-res terrain mesh that is loaded on-demand and rendered using standard terrain LOD. If you need code snippets for that, I'd be glad to supply them. I did non-fogged terrain back in 2002 in my game Deranged Raid ( http://freshmeat.net/projects/derangedraid )

your serious? man that would look freaking amazing in game..... although I fear making the textures... look how detailed they are I dunno if my fractile generator would do anything that would be that good.. but I"m up for trying:)
