This would make a good print for a frame. 😊

Love the Cosmos site, do you know who made it?

For me it's The FWA, but I'm biased.

Otherwise it's the depths of the internet. 😜

Actually, I personally find a lot of inspiration in album artwork, not just physical LPs, but cover artwork for digital releases too.

Well he's not under-represented at all, but @mattdesl.bsky.social, also a fan of his early work at Jam3 here in Toronto, and his many nature inspired works.

Hi Matt! 👋 😉

I'm the maintainer of rollup-plugin-glslify and haven't used glslify myself in years.

glslify was created way back before ES6 template literals were widely available, and the reality is GLSL modules very rarely change.

Perhaps a modern alternative could be an ESM library of the same modules?

And this atmosphere shader. 🤤

Also checkout what @gkjohnson.bsky.social has been working on. My Mars demo isn't as detailed, though trying to go for a cinematic look.

Let me know of any features or information you think would be a good addition to this. Thanks!

This is the first prototype, with some upcoming features planned; 3D terrain model with LOD, labels and travelling to labels, cross-sections, Mars's moons and clouds, additional volumetric lighting, an atmosphere shader, and some layer UI to toggle details on/off.

Plus a special thanks to melodysheep as a huge source of inspiration, WATER WORLDS was used as a layout reference for this demo. Thank you!

Special thanks to John Van Vliet for contributing the 32k normal map, who has created many astronomical object textures for Celestia and @spaceenginesim.bsky.social, among many other projects. Thank you!

The cubemap textures were generated with help from @btjak.es, who worked on National Geographic's “Rewind the Red Planet”, and has a fantastic technical article on the process used. Plus a ton of great feedback and support. Thank you!

This is a cinematic Mars demo featuring high quality cubemaps with 2k faces.

I prefer the WET principle. 😉
