[Papervision3D] 3D Globe with Papervision

[Pete Hobson]

I was looking at http://www.flashearth.com/  yesterday, and wondering  
what it would take to map it onto a 3D sphere, similar to the demo  
world in helloAse.

I think a key feature thats missing from P3D at the moment that would  
be needed is some form of tessellation so as the globe got closer to  
the viewer it was split into more polygons for your textures to fit  
onto.

If you search the list archive for 'tessellation' you will find a lot  
of in depth discussion about how P3D might approach this.
