1:1 scale Planet Earth in Unity

A few months ago, I posted my procedural planet generated with noise.

Since then, I’ve moved on to a true 1:1 scale Earth (6,000km radius) in Unity using real NASA heightmaps. All the terrain you see in these screenshots is actual geometry.

Here are a few views from orbit:

  1. US West Coast (California and the San Andreas Fault)

  2. Nevada Desert (Great Basin area)

  3. Strait of Gibraltar (Spain and Morocco)

  4. East African Rift

Currently, I'm working on the terrain system so that when you fly down closer to the surface, it dynamically loads into much higher resolution.

Let me know what you think!
