Mercartor SVG Map Added to Wikipedia

Just received confirmation that my Mercartor SVG World map has been added to Wikipedia. I actually made this while creating the Mozilla Download Stats Visualization, using a bunch of different maps as the source. Actually the final map for Mozilla was created using Inkscape to trace a specularity map from Nasa.

The map is now ShareALike Creative Commons, so mash away!

HTML5 Canvas and Audio Experiment

HTML5 Canvas and Audio Experiment

Wow, wow, wow, how awesome is this?! Got sent this really cool HTML5 Twitter visualization today. I was simply blown away by the depth of this visualization. And the music is perfect.... great work guys!

If you want to create visualizations on the HTML5 Canvas, Processing.js is a great library to get you started. ProcessingJS.org

Perfecting my "Earth"

Over the last couple of days I have been perfecting my Earth rendering in Blender 3D for a visualization I have planning to release in a couple of weeks. Thought it might be fun to post some screen shots.



Getting close, but still needs some work on the volumetric atmosphere rendering and sub-surface scattering.
