Title: Link to try it out: http://kosmosnimki.ru/3d/index.html?x=5123012&#38;y=5207341<p>Flash Player 10 required. Allow for some delays in loading because our servers are in Russia.<p>Controls: drag to move, mousewheel to tilt. Secret tips for fellow hackers here: i toggles stats, m toggles mesh, t shows textures, s shows strips.<p>The location is Russian Caucasus, images are from IRS satellite, heightmaps are SRTM.<p>Actually we (my employer http://kosmosnimki.ru, a Russian online map) have covered the whole land area of the world below the 60th parallel. Changing the x and y parameters in the URL bar allows you to go elsewhere. Numbers are in meters, Mercator projection, WGS84 datum. I especially recommend the Himalayas, the Andes and Kilimanjaro, if you're smart enough to figure out the right numbers :-)<p>The code was written by me alone from scratch during this week. Two days of scribbling in a notebook until it got clear, then two days of frantic coding. No existing 3D engines like Papervision were used, it's all pure AS3 (well, haXe). About 1000 lines in total.<p>Any questions are welcome, especially questions about algorithms!
