Whatizzit?
These 60-frame animations of the rotating globe was produced on a
Macintosh IIfx, using StrataVision-3d to wrap images created from
a 5-minute gridded (latitude x longitude) data base of topography and
ocean depths from the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center. Computing
the rendered animation series took 21 hours on the Mac fx in 24-bit color.
(Files with names ending in ".8" are dithered to 8 bits).
Sound is from Nautilus CD-ROMs public-domain sample tracks.
