Earth demo

May 12th, 2007 - Steve Salmond


This is an older demo showing a ‘depth of field’ effect in our 3D engine.
http://dev.getoutsmart.com/os3d/demos/earth/

If you want to see depth of field, tick the checkbox at bottom-right. The effect is achieved by rendering the Earth and Moon onto separate 2d layers, then applying a BlurFilter to each that varies according to distance from the camera.

Controls
Mouse interaction is the same as before; click and drag to pan around, and shift + drag to zoom in and out. Certain animation modes restrict the camera - for example ‘Orbit and Zoom’ controls both panning and zooming.
