- This model was constructed from scratch, by me, and I have all the
- original working files to prove it! So don't worry about commercial
- copyrights, get rendering! I recently purcha$ed a commercial
- earth model, and while it is a *bit* more accurate, I was pleased to see
- how close I came with my model, which was done in 1992!
-
- USAGE NOTES:
-
- This model is NOT public domain! It and this text file ARE
- copyright 1994 Fire Mist Media.

- I think I did a pretty good job with this one, so if you make some $$$
- off an animation with it, admit to yourself that you saved either a lot of
- time or money (or both), and cough up the shareware bucks. Say US $40.00 ?
- That's a lot less than $400.00! Come to think of it, it's a lot less than
- $200.00. Send what you can. If it's for personal, non-profit, or fun, just
- go ahead and use it (a screen credit would be appreciated, if applicable).
- Who knows, I might be so appreciative I send you some other goodies.
-
- The objects: The file is called GLOBE.GRP because it is a group of
- 3 objects: The continents, the "water", and the "sides" of the continents in
- case you want that extruded look. As you have received it, the objects are
- scaled to show a very thin edge around the continents. The base spherical
- size is 200.0 Imagine units. You'll notice that the land sides and the
- waterSphere are scaled a bit smaller. Want more of an "edge" to the
- continents? Scale down the waterSphere a bit. Want no "edge"? Delete
- that object and enlarge the sphere slightly. Not too much, or the underlying
- waterSphere will start to poke thru the land in spots. Just do a few tests.
- The attributes supplied are very plain. Green land, blue water. Since
- the parts are separate, it should be easy to add a little ice to Antarctica,
- maybe some desert noise in the arid regions, change the water to silver,
- whatever. You might want to try a render with the objects as they are, just
- to see what it looks like in the "base" configuration.
