* glplanet, an OpenGL-based planetary rendererHEADmainGravatar Benjamin Barenblat2022-01-30
glplanet draws Earth like it currently appears from space, putting nighttime areas in shadow and daytime areas in light. It’s modeled after Xplanet (http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/), but whereas Xplanet is entirely a CPU-resident program, glplanet draws using OpenGL. It’s thus much less resource-intensive, particularly when using high-resolution textures.
