3D Galaxy Online Applet Demo

[DzzD]

Dont be afraid by the french texte... just click on a planete at the bottom of the page.

feedbacks are wellcome (translation too    )

Already know bug and issue:
- sperical map is wrong on top and bottom, this is not a bug, due to 3D model bad mapping... unable to correct.
- sometime on bumped planete face are visible, not sure this is a bug or not... dont know..
- on Firefox after looking two or three planetes an OutOfMemoryException is thrown..., bug to fix
- zooming too far flip the planete, and make buggy rendering, bug to fix

feedbacks on the applet loader are also welcome

How can I zoom in to the cities?

The planets show flickering rendering artifacts at the border and strange texture artifacts at the poles... is this only over here (ff, xp)?

After clicking some planets the applet does not load any more

to view city on mars just open the menu city then click "show mars city"  , more seriously for earth maybe a link to google map server will be added to enable higher zoom view.

The planets show flickering rendering artifacts at the border and strange texture artifacts at the poles... is this only over here (ff, xp)?

poles bug are "normal" bugs comming from models mapping, it is a litlle wrong there, maybe flickering is due to a too high level of bump ? (wich is internaly converted to normal map)

After clicking some planets the applet does not load any more

yup this is a bug, Applets ressources and threads are not destroyed/stopped.... so heap is growing up...: implementing destroy method and releasing ressource and threads wiil fix this bug...., you should kill all browsers  and open again to be able to view other planetes..., this bug will be corrected in two days
