An interesting blog I didn't know of, thanks for the link.

As for the colors - don't mind them too much now. With climate data in place, the colors will approach those real colors from Blue Marble, so it will be much better.

That should be really cool, Blue Marble has layers for snow cover/vegetation so this seems super powerful for you guys.  Will we be able to choose the month of the year we want to fly around in too?

Would manipulating one of these images(and vegetation models) be the way to go about creating a different type of world setting like post apocalyptic or ice age?

Actually we are going to analyze all months and generate data that should allow smooth transition between months.
But the Blue Marble colors are auxiliary, the instrument that produces them also collects data in multiple bands from infra to ultra, and there are datasets resulting from it that directly provide discrete land types (such as desert, savanna ...).
This will be also compatible with manually or artificially created land type maps for artificial worlds, or for a different age Earth.

This is impressive Camini,
How far down the line before we might see some screens showing seasonal differences?

Not before the different climate types are supported themselves, and since we are busy preparing the demo and working around the remaining driver bugs, it can be only sometime after the summer, in an update to the game.

How about looking at 25°20′42″S 131°02′10″E from pretty much any direction? Just go back a tiny bit please.

Thanks, that looks pretty good. I've never climbed the thing, so i dont' know how accurate it is, but the layering looks good. The greenery and trees really set it off (Because green is the opposite of what colour it normally is )

IT'S RED?!

Oh yeah, it's orange/red. Have a look http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Uluru

Haha. I thought it would be one of those judging by the surroundings.

Hi Cameni,

Can you take a screen shot of 50.623*N 3.6141*W

Facing due West and 2m off the ground.

Many thanks

Wow, spot on!

No bumpy grass in that one?
