History

This globe started out as a fork of Robert Scanlon's encom-globe. It was converted to a standalone project as the API and direction of the component departed from the objectives of the original. Significant changes include an update to the current (Jan 2017) version of THREE.js, exposing mostly everything for customization, a rewrite as an ES6 module, use of mesh lines and SDF rendering among other changes.

Usage

...

Generating tiles

The globe requires vertex data to render the globe and the various land masses. The precompiled bundle includes a row resolution hex grid as part of the t3_rs_geo object. Higher quality JSON files are also provided and can be loaded on demand. The companion repository t3-rs-geo-tiles generates these tiles and can be used to tweak the grid and the mappings.
