Ditched boring flat maps forever. Population Density 3D map- This is a premium glass-like orb floating in a quantum black void, with glowing spikes for every major city - taller + brighter = higher population. Rotate it. Zoom in. It was a fun exercise balancing 3D performance with clean,... show more

try it here

Can you do one for counties in the US? I’d love to see Florida

Will give it a try!! Thanks for the suggestion

2007 called and wants it’s spinning WebGL globes back. Maps are about conveying something, not primarily looking fancy with loads of visual clutter.

Good point.. just a hobby thing to do!! Not trying to convey anything..

Don’t worry!! Already started working on the next one 😎😎

I’d make the back face a bit more opaque so the parts facing away from the user don’t interfere with the front-facing part of the render. Looks very cool!

Good point.. will do that for the next one!! Thanks for the suggestion

How do we access? :)

@threejs Looks nice, well done dude. Could use a low-power config to have this run smooth on mobile, I can see a few quick wins there. Have you merged your things ? The fragment shader looks a little expensive too — zooming in tells

Got it.. I went full ballistic for desktop version only!!

Always love a good ol' 3D globe 🌍

True!! Have a bunch of them in my collection now 😊

very cool, but the best part is all the other cool things you can do once you get the first thing like this running (like u are doing)... good stuff

Yes.. that’s so true!! Trying to get 10 transparent globes for the collection, currently at 6!! 😊

super cool... you should do a wealth map. or maybe broadband access, electricity, water, etc. so much good stuff to visualize

thanks for the suggestions!!! will try to get the data and try it out

@threejs Beautiful

Thanks

Woah that’s stunning man.

Thanks!! Glad that you liked it..

This reminds me of a game I was building 15 years ago but gave up cos the 3D math was too hard. Perhaps I should pick it up again

Ofcourse!! Give it another try.. even the AI can be of assistance to you now

Cool stuff! Wonder what it could be practicaly used for

Just adding to my transparent globe collection.. aiming for 10 sets, presently at 6

Looks awesome here!

Thanks!!

this is badass

Thanks 🙏

so cool

Access?
