Also, for this program, I used a way to render the sphere much faster at a higher resolution, with the dot product instead of inverse trig functions. Another big difference is that I wrote the whole thing independently, with my FireTools library.MathGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02280606971178106883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924899034056529847.post-79694575518325683072015-10-14T08:56:44.705-06:002015-10-14T08:56:44.705-06:00Is it like the ones you made on KA all that time a...Is it like the ones you made on KA all that time ago?<br /><br />( https://www.khanacademy.org/computer-programming/rotating-gas-giant-3d/5363614714167296 )Mariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673914164370074998noreply@blogger.com
